Repentance
Your touch I feel subsiding
Your presence no longer near.
Tell me why the one I love
So faint I cannot hear.
Your silence is so deafening
I strive to hear your voice.
The once delightful melody
Is now a silent noise.
I long to hear your laughter.
Your song I grieve today.
The loving sound of guidance
Not here, but gone away.
My loneliness consumes me.
Repose within is spent.
Until your voice I hear again
My withered heart laments
What have I done to lose you?
Where in our love did fall?
I must have caused between us
Transgressions after all.
I heeded not your warning
With sin you cannot live.
Repentance is my only hope
Will you, with love, forgive?
I knew your love unblemished
No spot with you reside.
But loneliness now bruises
My heart, with sin I hide.
I must regain your presence
Confess my hidden sin.
Wash clean my heart with love's refrain
And bring your song back in.
