Lyrics:
VERSE 1
When I have done something
I know I shouldn’t do
And I’m tempted to hide it
When I have spoken words
I know I shouldn’t speak
And I want to deny it
If I confess my sins, I’ll find mercy
CHORUS
Blessed is the one who fears the Lord
And admits his sin
Blessed is the one who trusts the Lord
Who alone forgives
Jesus died so I don’t have to hide anymore
VERSE 2
When I have taken something
I know I shouldn’t take
And I try to conceal it
When I have disobeyed
The rules my parents made
I shouldn’t keep it a secret
If I confess my sins, I’ll find mercy
BRIDGE
When we know we’re forgiven
We don’t have to be afraid
We’ll want to run from sin
And follow Jesus every day
