Lent Refrain

Here is music, accompaniment, and text for a Lenten refrain you might use throughout the weeks of the season as a meditation. We will use this in in Sunday worship as well, one verse for each of the weeks.

Repentance: an important Lenten theme.

In Hebrew, it is teshuvah, meaning to return.

In Greek, it is metanoia, meaning to expand your knowing or your mind; to know God and to know as God knows, deeply and lovingly.
