I believe in the risen One
I believe I overcome
By the power of His blood
Amen, Amen
I'm alive, I'm alive
Because He lives
Let my song join the one that never ends
Because He lives
I was dead in the grave
I was covered in sin and shame
I heard mercy call my name
He rolled the stone away
Amen, Amen
I'm alive, I'm alive
Because He lives
Amen, Amen
Let my song join the one that never ends
Because He lives
I can face tomorrow
Because He lives
Every fear is gone
I know He holds my life my future in His hands
Amen, Amen
I'm alive, I'm alive
Because He lives
Amen, Amen
Let my song join the one that never ends
Amen, Amen
I'm alive, I'm alive
Because He lives
Amen, Amen

I felt so bad about sin that I accepted Jesus as my Saviour and prayed for it:
Jesus, I believe that you are the Son of God. I believe that you died on the cross for me too, to take all my sins upon you. And I believe that you have risen from the dead, so that if I accept you as my Saviour, I too will live with God and you forever.
I'm sorry, Jesus, for all the messes I made. I don't want to go on living in sin, and I thank you for taking the punishment I deserve for my sins, so that I can be clean and pure before God, like freshly fallen snow. Come into my life Jesus and lead me on the way that God has planned for me. I thank you, Jesus.
All my sins in the past and in the future are forgiven forever. Since then I thank and praise Jesus and place Him at the centre of my thinking.

If you have not yet accepted Jesus as Saviour, I would accept Him.
God bless you and protect you.

@@BlitzTheFoxi Don't be afraid to say what God has put on your heart to say, it will only lead to more life. That being said, check the Bible to make sure the words really are from God
