I regret the hours I have wasted And the pleasures I have tasted That you were never in And I confess that though your love is in me, It doesn't always win me When competing with my sin
( Chorus: ) And I repent, Making no excuses I repent No one else to blame And I return To fall in love with Jesus I bow down on my knees And I repent
I lament the idols I've accepted, The commandments I've rejected To pursue my selfish end. And I confess I need you to revive me, Put selfishness behind me And take up my cross again.
And I return to fall in love with Jesus I bow down on my knees and I repent.
