Story Behind the Song
This blues rock song boldly declares the initial ministry and message of both John the Baptist and Jesus Christ. The word `repent` is literally a military term meaning `about face` or in this interpretation, to "Turn Back".
Lyrics
Verse 1:
I sing to you this song, but you'll never hear it. No words, no rhyme, no time, no time to go near it.
Chorus:
Your life is fading! Your time is thin! Turn back and face it; you're gonna win! You live for pleasure, you'll die in sin! You die with Jesus, you'll live with Him!
Verse 2:
I give to you this song; so why can't you take it? No where, no why, no how; oh how can you shake it?
Verse 3:
I bring to you Good News, but you won't receive it. It's no lie, with no Lord, there's no life; but you can't believe it.
Verse 4:
I share my life, my song, a chance to embrace It. It's all right, you turn, you learn; He's helping you face it.
