Lyrics
Tshouvah
If I promise to Pray in your name
Will you welcome me back to your arms, O Lord
If I promise to walk in your way
Will you welcome me back to your arms
My Father, My King, I’ve gone down the wrong way,
I’ve done horrible things, that I just can’t explain
I’ve trampled your name, so I stand here and pray
Forgive me my Master, I am to blame,
I am responsible, I accept it all,
I am the one, who ignored your call,
I chose not to listen, I chose not to hear
I closed off my soul, till your voice disappeared,
I couldn’t see, cause I chose not to look
Thought I was free, because I mistook
Slavery for freedom, body for soul
I was filled with myself, now I’m left with a hole
And now I return, and I beg for forgiveness,
For all the sins I’ve done and for the ones that I’ve witnessed
Lord the burden is heavy, please let me serve my sentence
Please clean my soul and accept my repentance
******Chorus*******
I find myself, filled with regret
It blocks me up, to you I forfeit
My entire essence, and all the days I have left
I’ve learnt my lesson, my prayers, please accept
Regret is healthy, when connected to sin,
It stabs my heart, and causes, pain within,
How could I have not, felt for so long
How could I get caught, in the ways of the wrong
It hurts to know, even though I was gone
I‘d expect darkness, but your light was still on
Lighting my way, and guiding me through
You didn’t give up, though I gave up on you
My King I’m reaching, and trying to connect
I learn your teachings, and, I know they’re correct
My soul is held down, yet for you it burns
For from you it came, and thus, desires to Return
***********Chorus*********
I can’t change the past, but I’ll do my best
Please provide me a way to get these sins off my chest
All these things that I’ve done, I’ll try and undo
If you open the door, I promise to walk through
I’ll go apologize, I’ll pay for the loss
Lord I’ll even pay, double the cost
I’ll make it up to the world, any way that I can
Just let me make it up to my fellow man
Lord I know I’m not worthy, of a second try
But if you give me wings I promise to fly
I’ll never look back, not even in my mind
I’ll never sin again, I’ve left all that behind
You’re my maker, Creator of All
I’ve woken up and now, I hear your call
I’ve spoken up, I bow, now it’s up to you to decide
Please bless my return, so I can stand by your side
************Chorus************
(Even if the answer’s no’ I’ll still do all that I can)
