[Verse 1] When Nathan laid the plain truth down, David let his defenses fall; No crown could hide the grief he found, He named his wrong before them all. “Against Jehovah I have sinned,” A quiet sentence, clear and true; A broken heart was where he began, And mercy found its way through. [Chorus] Take the counsel, let it lead you, Make the change, then start anew; Love is not withdrawn in correction, Faith can grow through what we do. With a humble heart, keep serving, Let the old road end behind; When repentance turns us homeward, Mercy meets us there in time. [Verse 2] Hezekiah too had stumbled, Pride had clouded what he saw; Then he bowed and changed his course, And walked again in reverent awe. The faithful still may need a word, A small adjustment, kindly said; A steady hand can turn the path Before the heart is led astray. [Chorus] Take the counsel, let it lead you, Make the change, then start anew; Love is not withdrawn in correction, Faith can grow through what we do. With a humble heart, keep serving, Let the old road end behind; When repentance turns us homeward, Mercy meets us there in time. [Instrumental Interlude] [Bridge] Not every wound is condemnation, Not every question means goodbye; A loving guide can help us see The better step we passed nearby. [Final Chorus] Take the counsel, let it lead you, Make the change, then start anew; Love is not withdrawn in correction, Faith can grow through what we do. With a humble heart, keep serving, Give your whole heart day by day; When repentance turns us homeward, Jehovah forgives and clears the way. [Outro] So rise with a heart made humble, And walk in love renewed.
