Today in the Body there’s a sense, we are missing true Repentance, <br />The fear of God is missing in us, many who belong to Christ Jesus, <br />Have many who have come to faith, taken advantage of His Grace? <br />Continuing on in their old behavior; not truly walking with the Savior. <br /> <br />Repentance, when it actually starts, continues on in believing hearts, <br />As it produces changes in our lives, as new life in the Savior thrives, <br />As Godly sorrow enters into a heart, from sinful ways we will depart, <br />As we all strive to live out this life, to be like The Lord, Jesus Christ. <br /> <br />We need to know when we fail, so The Holy Spirit in us may prevail, <br />Forsaking the old ways of our life, to live the Truths of Jesus Christ, <br />Led by the Spirit who Christ had sent, so in our lives we may repent, <br />To turn away from our old ways, to walk with our Savior all our days. <br /> <br />True change doesn’t come from us, but by the Spirit of Christ Jesus, <br />As we’re moved by His Spirit within, exposing the truth of all our sin, <br />Moving us to the changes required, to be that person Christ desired, <br />When we accepted His forgiveness, to live for Him in righteousness. <br /> <br />True repentance produces change, so we’re not to ever be the same, <br />When we experience Godly sorrow, change continues into tomorrow, <br />As God’s Word dwells richly within, God leads us to repent of all sin, <br />To produce all change within our life, all for the glory of Jesus Christ.<br /><br />Bob Gotti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/true-repentance/
