Once my sorrow was for the pain
Of all I stood to lose,
And yet my sin remained.
This sorrow, born of my pain,
Kept my heart from turning
Back to Him again.
Now my sorrow is for the sin
That gives offense to God
And stains my soul within.
This sorrow of godly pain
Hopes I never give offense
To Him again.
Sorrow for my sin
Brings my soul such pain
Yet this pain, I know,
Can lead my soul
Back to Him again.
Godly sorrow became the start
Of the path that led
To a mighty change of heart.
This sorrow, out of love,
Helps me find the way back
To His home above.
Sorrow for my sin
Brings my soul such pain.
Yet this pain, I know,
Can lead my soul
Back to Him, Again.
