UNLOCKING THE DOOR OF GOD’S MERCY IN THE NEW YEAR

True repentance comes from the heart
Genuine repentance is always
Accompanied with great remorse
Repentance is the vomiting of the soul
Unlocking the door of God’s mercy in the new year
 
It means that from gut
Your abhor what you did
And if given the opportunity
To do it again you wouldn’t
It means that you are repulsed by your sin
 
And you want nothing
To do with it anymore
In the pit of your gut
You want nothing more than to change
And be a different kind of man
 
And not only that
But you are going to demonstrate
Your change of heart by a change in your behavior
That’s repentance genuine repentance
Unlocking the door of God’s mercy in the new year
 
You and I
Can’t always tell the difference
Between genuine and artificial repentance
We’re just as likely to fall for phony
Repentance and turn away
 
In cynical disgust from the real thing
But God always know the difference
When you call out to God from your gut
Definitely God will listen genuine repentance always bring
Evidence with it that’s how you recognize it.
