My heart you wring
And press and flame
I know this grief
You know my ways
My knees I drop
My head you raise
Repentance be my truest praise
Repentance be my truest praise
More than a word heard clearly
More than a truth felt deeply
More than a song sung sweetly
As a crowd sings with me
Repentance be my truest praise
Repentance be my truest praise
Showmanship
And smiling face
Costume that
I wear for praise
Would you cover my disgrace?
Repentance be my truest praise
Repentance be my truest praise
More than a word heard clearly
More than a truth felt deeply
More than a song sung sweetly
As a crowd sings with me
Repentance be my truest praise
Repentance be my truest praise
