I will arise and go to Jesus,
He will embrace me in his arms;

True belief and true repentance,
Ev'ry grace that brings you nigh. [Refrain]

If you tarry till you're better,
You will never come at all. [Refrain] Topics: Penance Sacraments; Burdens; Commitment; Faith; Grace; Mercy, Forgiveness; Redemption; Repentance, Confession Languages: English Tune Title: RESTORATION
