Therefore remember from where you have fallen, and repent and do the deeds you did at first; or else I am coming to you and will remove your lampstand out of its place-unless you repent. Revelation 2:5
Some people think repentance is just saying "I'm sorry" with no contrition. But that is not the case. We must truly know that what we have done caused great offense to the Lord and seek to make it right.
The lyrics in Forgive Me by Group 1 Crew reflect this kind of repentance:
I’ve spent so many nights wonderin’ when will it end When will the day come when happiness begins I’m running the race but it seems too hard to win I’m sick of mourning my stomach is throwing up in the morning I’m calling for help and watching it melt away My heart’s been put on display and put away In many ways, many times I told myself it was ok And anger was the price that was paid While these faded dreams just screamed to bring them home The burden was too heavy I kept running from the throne I can’t take it any longer I can taste my spirit hunger God please help me get home |
