Repentance is not very easy,
\nIt can be a difficult ride,
\nWe’ll only get good results,
\nWhen humility is our guide.<\/p>\n

But honesty must come first,
\nRecognizing we have sinned,
\nOnce we confess our errors,
\nThen our healing will begin.<\/p>\n

\nHe waits patiently it’s true,
\nBut the ball is in your court,
\nNow exactly what will you do?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
