Repentance


2 Corinthians 7:10 

10 For sadness as intended by God produces a repentance that leads to salvation,

leaving no regret, but worldly sadness brings about death.

 

Repentance

Lord what do you really need from me? It cannot be my help

You are Almighty and I am clumsy as I can be

It must be what You want is the all of my heart

And I guess that the only way that I really can be free

 

Essau sought repentance and that with bitter tears

Maybe he did not find it because forgiveness was missing

Someone had to lead him there but he could not see that

Maybe that was the reason that his flesh was hissing
