Repent
It must be with an open heart and mind that you accept Jesus and repent
Knowing the word will guide you on your path as you are sent
To the nations one by one with love shining forth from your heart
It will be a position and a station devoted to My word which will not depart
Be open to be corrected as your journey takes you to new places
Look to heaven for direction and honor My word and see the look on their faces
Your salvation will deliver a message that all you greet will desire
Salvation comes with heaven’s guarantee to see Jesus and will not expire
Tell all those around you that if they repent they will have access to heaven too
Walk upright and greet the lost with love and open arms, it is what you must do
Worship Me openly so all can see the freedom that comes with repentance for all
The lost will know that the favor of heaven will be with them when they call
Give yourself over to the Holy Spirit who will educate and guide your path
When you repent for all past sins you can walk over and through the enemy’s wrath
No harm will have access when your focus is on Jesus and the life He led
Love will flow and salvation will proceed from every prayer that is said
