[Verse 1]
My heart you wring and press and flame
I know this grief, you know my ways
My knees I drop, my head you raise

[Pre-Chorus]
Repentance be my truest praise
Repentance be my truest praise

[Chorus]
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?

[Pre-Chorus]
Repentance be my truest praise
Repentance be my truest praise

[Chorus]
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
