Repent

Wendy Rice

Oh, sinful nations.
You have rebelled and broke away from me.
Listen and hear the Lord your God.
I have had enough.  
Repent, Repent, Repent.

Zion stand up.
Redeem yourself.  
Turn to me and be faithful.
You are not of this world.  
You are of the Lord your God.  

Seek me and you will find.
Knock and I will open the door.
I will quench your thirst.
Rest in me.
Stand in my glory.
