Repentance

By Lissette Trahan

The beginning of understanding God
Began when I was convicted of sin
I confessed, so many thoughts
Repenting for all that I had been

The seed of love entered my heart
That spirit of love never to part
I was forgiven by God’s grace
With gratitude and joy I praised

My way into the Kingdom of God
Was with sorrow and repentance
God was there with all His love
I felt comfort and acceptance

I have come to understand
Repentance is a gift of God
It is not something that I planned
God chose me from the start

In spite of all I still offend
But I know that when I say
“”Forgive me, Lord, I have sinned”
He forgives me everyday
