V.1 Willie Will

How awesome is He, word is bond, it's hard to believe

The sovereign God who parted the Sea is pardoning deeds

With the Living Water making us want to fall on our knees

Calling on Jesus, giving the gift to all who believe

It’s the gift of repentance, given when the Spirit descended

We went from a sinful position to apostles and priests

Pick it apart, penitence isn't in and of ourselves

But a penitent heart is given from God, our God is a beast

For regeneration of pagans who were following Satan

The Father has gave us the promise of peace by squashing the beef

And then giving us hearts sensitive to the Spirit of God

Now we wanna repent when the gospel is preached

It's the response of the chosen, the elect is rejecting

What God is opposing, check it, we’re rocking and rolling

By mercy we're found, learning the sound of the voice of our Shepherd

While all of our idols they burn to the ground, worship abounds

The King Jesus deserving the crown, we fervently bow

He's given grace to turn it around

His mercy motivates to seek Jehovah's face from a broken place

Boldly approaching the throne of grace, an open invitation

To turn from your sin, being purged from within

The Lord's mercy for men got you ill and feeling the urge to repent

We share truth, believe if you're a Christian

By the Spirit we bear fruit in keeping with repentance

Listen and grasp it

Please don't misunderstand it

Look at the gift we've been handed

God urges men to turn from sin and turn to Him

Repentance is granted, come on

V.2 Ambassador

Tell me

What’s a ten letter word that can exert a crazy amount of pressure?

What turns men from sin when they’re determined

So they won't go all the way like Chris Berman

Clue, one of Jesus’ first sermons

True, something indeed worth learning

Enough clues, coz I can see you squirming

It's repentance, it means about-face, U-turning

You can be obstinate, wilding with no stopping it

Repentance is stopping and starting to do the opposite

Like a swindler who swindles kids

Repents and becomes a regenerate gentleman who's generous

Or take a man now preaching on his block

He used to lick shots and hold the heat like thick socks

This grace, you know I used to take for granted

Till I got hip and learned it's a gift, God has to hand it

He’ll about face because He hates me? Nah, for my safety

I'm headed for a cliff, He wants to save me

We need His power to switch lanes or switch teams

I mean one of the hardest things is to change

But you can go from not seeing God to saying

It's me and God and we're tight like a leotard

Me and Will know the deal, the grace has us lit

We went out there but we back from it

V.3 Hazakim - Tony and Mike

The question is how can we be saved?

Coz sin is the connection between man and the grave

The shackles on the wrist that lead the hand of a slave

It's the cracking of the whip overseeing how we behave

Here to devastate like a Nephilim to a featherweight

But the sinless King intervened to emancipate

Even demons believe and trepidate

Faith and repentance

The difference between the redeemed and the reprobate

The main sign that follows a changed mind

Can't repent without belief, two sides of the same coin

Without repentance no flesh redeemed

Coz man's problem isn't low self-esteem

It's the key ingredient, keeps you meek and obedient

The epitome of peace and freedom coz you've been freed from sin

Repentance keeps the evils of demons from creeping in

And keeps you seeking after His wills like the repo men

It's not a repeated prayer that a preacher prepared

It's truly seeing how you fare when you're deep in despair

What's taking place is a prayer of desperation

And once you're in the faith it's a daily examination

Frees you from depression, helps you deal with forgiveness

Daily we confessing, come to Him with petitions

Like Kris Kross, Van Halen, them Pointer Sisters

You can jump, celebrating for your redemption
