These repulsive acts
From my recent past
Chop like an axe
At my mind, and cast
Guilty feelings upon me.
Repentance is the key
That will set me free.
These detestable things
That I said, in my recent past
Initiate the shiverings
Of the guilt that hast
Become glued to mine heart
And will not depart.
Only repentance will make it depart.
Only repentance will make it depart.
Father, forgive me. Father forgive me.
Oh how this guilt is glued to mine heart.
Lord, set me free. Lord set me free.
Your forgiveness is the axe
That so lovingly hacks
That so lovingly, the guilt from mine heart, extracts.
