4. I regret the hours I have wasted, And the pleasures I have tasted, That You were never in. And I confess that Though Your love is in me, It doesn’t always win me, When competing with my sin. And I repent, making no excuses. I repent, no one else to blame. And I return to fall in love with Jesus.

5. I bow down on my knees, and I repent. I lament the idols I’ve accepted, The commandments I’ve rejected, To pursue my selfish end. And I confess I need You to revive me, Put selfishness behind me, And take up my cross again. And I repent, making no excuses. I repent, no one else to blame. And I return to fall in love with Jesus. I bow down on my knees, and I repent. 1
