Author lyric: Mikike67

The road is so long that leads to repentance,
why do you open your soul in remembrance?
The sorrow inside is burning your heart,
you pray for a change, a brand-new start.

The seasons have passed and changes appeared,
the righteous are lost, the wicked have feared.
Even the cruel now seek a new way,
for deep in their souls they’re trembling each day.

[Chorus]
The road is long to find true repentance,
your heart desires the Lord’s holy presence.
Our sins forgiven, His mercy is wide,
He heals the pain that we carry inside.
[Chorus 2]
Believe me now, I know what I’m saying,
I live repentant each night when I’m praying.
My soul grew lighter, thank You, my Lord,
Your holy name I proclaim with accord.

Don’t come to God believing in fear,
if love’s not within, your hope won’t appear.
If goodness and love you never can feel,
your soul stays closed, your time won’t heal.

It’s not easy walking the road of contrition,
but only through this you’ll find true fruition.
If sins are unwept, God’s grace won’t remain,
why would you hope for His mercy in vain?

But if you repent with heart pure and true,
happiness guides every year left to you.
As warm as the sunlight shines from above,
so will you feel the Lord’s endless love.

[Chorus]
The road is long to find true repentance,
your heart desires the Lord’s holy presence.
Our sins forgiven, His mercy is wide,
He heals the pain that we carry inside.
[Chorus 2]
Believe me now, I know what I’m saying,
I live repentant each night when I’m praying.
My soul grew lighter, thank You, my Lord,
Your holy name I proclaim with accord.
