Repentance
Sacrament Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth,
The life; no man comes to the Father, but by me,"
Simply believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you'll be saved.

God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son,
That whoever believes in him shall
Not perish, but have everlasting life.
Ignorant defiance ends in punishment,
Repentance - only through Christ is there reconciliation.

Jesus said, "A man keeps my words,
He will never see death...
But unless you repent, you too will all perish,"
Jesus tells us,
"Unless a man is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God,"
"If a man is thirsty,
Let him come to me and drink...
Whoever believes in me, the Holy Spirit will flow."

God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son,
That whoever believes in him shall
Not perish, but have everlasting life.

Ignorant defiance ends in punishment,
Repentance - only through Christ is there reconciliation.

Who is he that overcomes the world but
He that believes Jesus is the son of God?
Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life,
Whoever lives and believes in me will never die."

God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son,
That whoever believes in him shall
Not perish, but have everlasting life.





Ignorant defiance ends in punishment,
Repentance - only through Christ is there reconciliation.
