to GOD be the GLORY
~ A Penitent Soul ~
By Deborah Ann

Once you repent,
fruit you will bear
for all of your sins
will be laid out bare.
For a contrite heart,
will forsake all evil
follow no longer
the ways of the devil.
Once you profess,
you are a sinner
worldly conforming
no longer will hinder.
For a penitent soul,
desires no more
of what the world
has for it in store.
Once you repent,
you’ll bear the fruit
of true repentance
so sin can’t take root!
~~~~~
Bring forth therefore
fruits meet for repentance:
