To seek Him in sorrow for a wrong
Will bring sweet release when forgiveness comes.

To seek Him in quiet tears, falling on your knees
Is to find pure joy, knowing He hears your pleas.

Ask forgiveness for sin that drew you away.
Ask and receive sweet pardon today.

The prayer of repentance brings joyous relief
As tears are dried and you break free of grief.
