VERSE 2

The Word said repent and turn from your strivings 
Repent and turn from your hatred 
Repent from the doctrines of men that divide
And tear like the wedding gown rent

Walk in His love like newborn children
Walk in His love, let the wedding gown mend
Walk in His love, with humility come with pure hearts
And cast all your cares to the wind 

Repeat chorus

The Word of the Lord came one evening 
Concerning His bride's sin 
He assured me we will be forgiven
And then let the marriages begin 

Repeat chorus
