Reasoning of Repentance

"With Thee is the fountain of life: in Thy light shall we see light" (Psalm 36:9).  "As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear" (Proverbs 25:12).  "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool" (Isaiah 1:18).  "Or despisest thou the riches of His goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?" (Romans 2:4). 

There's life and light that God extends

That satisfies our deepest thirst. 

His blessing flows and never ends

With grace that justifies the cursed. 

Now let the rebel lend his ear

To hear reproof that God has sent. 

The Lord now calls the rebel near

And cleanses those who will repent.

We hear our Savior's invitation

To reason with Him while we may. 

The time to enter His salvation

Is NOW while it is called TODAY!

Though sins may now be scarlet red,

Through Christ they can be white as snow. 

Now come and reason, as He said,

To find the riches He'll bestow. 

How strange it is that many still

Despise the goodness of the Lord,

Resisting yet His gracious will

Which they have willfully ignored. 

O Lord, we thank You for Your love

Which found the remedy for sin:

You left Your majesty above

And died for souls that You would win!

Lord, show us how to reason well

That we may show the evidence

Which proves that You will save from hell

The one who seeks You and repents.
