Verse 1 They told me sin was written down Rules and chains to hold me bound Break one line and pay the cost As if the lesson was just being lost But heaven doesn’t judge that way This earth’s a school where souls are clay We stumble forward, fall, then rise Mistakes are teachers in disguise Chorus Sin is the distance, not the deed The space where guilt and shame can feed Love’s the answer, clear and true Turn around, begin anew Every fall’s a chance to grow Every seed of grace we sow We change, we learn, we rise above All these lessons in love Verse 2 They say the price must still be paid For every wrong choice that we’ve made But punishment is not God’s plan Love redeems the heart of man If guilt and shame can cloud my sky They’re the very sins I must deny ‘Cause every breath’s another chance To give the best in circumstance Chorus Sin is the distance, not the deed The space where guilt and shame can feed Love’s the answer, clear and true Turn around, begin anew Every fall’s a chance to grow Every seed of grace we sow We change, we learn, we rise above All these lessons in love Bridge Repent just means to turn around To stand again on higher ground The past can’t bind what love makes free The best I give comes back to me Chorus (repeat & lift) Sin is the distance, not the deed The space where guilt and shame can feed Love’s the answer, clear and true Turn around, begin anew Every fall’s a chance to grow Every seed of grace we sow We change, we learn, we rise above All these lessons in love Outro We’re growing, changing as we learn Mistakes are steps with every turn And love will always be enough These are lessons in love
