Faixa 5

B I remember when repentance E                    F# Lived among the ones I knew B                                      E                  F# I heard humble hearts admitting, Lord, I was wrong before you E                                         F# In our homes and in our churches, turning back was not a shame D#m                                 G#m Truth was met with grace and mercy, and forgiveness followed pain C#m                                  F# Their repentant hearts kept teaching mine     B                  D#m7 But that virtue slowly faded E                        F# We explained and carried on B                        D#m7 And as fewer hearts were turning   E                      F# I learned to hide when I was wrong G#m                       D#m Now I build a case around myself                E And guard what you have asked me to change F# I name the pressure C#m C#m7          B   F#sus4 I name everyone but me F#sus4    D#m7    E              F# Enough is enough, this ends here Repentance hurts F#7                D#m7         C#m7                   F# Because the excuse must die But I would rather lose my pride                         B Then keep this distance from you C#             D#m Isaiah says my sins have made a separation E              B Between me and my God F#               G#m7 D#m But John says if I confess my sins       B                E             F#         C#m7                F# sins. You are faithful and just. You forgive me and cleanse me from unrighteousness. And David      B               F#      G#m           F#            E   F#       F#7      B says a broken heart, a heart that turns to you, you will not despise. Teach me to repent       D#m7                     E                                    F#7 F# again to lay my pride aside to confess without explaining and bring my wrong F#7               B                      D#m7                   E into the light to receive correction and remain near to you not for one           F#     F#sus4    B           F#7             B             F#              G#m emotional night, but every day I live.
