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 dis grace 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
