Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

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.


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 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 return to fall in love with Jesus. I bow down on my knees and I repent.
