I Repent

On Sunday night, Todd called us to repentance for making "being missional" our new legalism... for making our pursuit of mission the thing that makes us worthy before God. During communion we used Derek Webb's song "I Repent" as a way to fuel our interaction with God. In case you missed them, here are some of the lyrics:

i repent, i repent, of my pursuit of america's dream
i repent, i repent, of living like i deserve anything
of my house, my fence, my kids, my wife
in our suburb where we're safe and white
i am wrong and of these things i repent

i repent, i repent, of parading my liberty
i repent. i repent, of paying for what i get for free
and for the way i believe that i am living right
by trading sins for others that are easier to hide
i am wrong and of these things i repent

Of all the singer/songwriters dotting the planet right now, Derek is one of the most intriguing and theologically deep. Read more about him at DerekWebb.com.
