Repentance Poem by Jeo Dela Cruz

'Repentance'
by: Jeo Dela Cruz

The Mighty One, God the Lord
Please extend your merciful hands
Towards my perishing soul
Cast out my sins and transgressions
Cleanse my nefarious being
With your love, kindness, and mercy

The Mighty One, God the Lord
Teach me to become reverent
Hear the yelling of my soul
Asking forgiveness for my sin
Please restore my brokenness
Change me as a steadfast spirit

The Mighty One, God the Lord
I acknowledge my transgressions
Against you God, I have sinned
I have done wrong into your sight
God, please cast not Your Spirit
Open my mouth to give You praise

The Mighty One, God the Lord
The epiphany of your grace
Shines forth to my darkened world
Like the ethereality
Of the Heavenly Kingdom
O Lord, have mercy, I repent
