One more chance

How many times have we asked God for one more chance?

Better yet how many times has He granted our request?

How many times have we slipped after we’ve sworn to Him?

If given just one more chance we would give him our best.

How many times have we tripped and fail

And only He stopped us from hitting the ground

Looked for so called loved ones, but it was only He that could be found.

How many times has the road looked so dark?

That we just wanted to lie down and never get up

Only to awake to the sunshine and a blessing He’s poured into our cup.

How many times have we done something we knew was wrong?

And smiled outside though inside we felt so very alone

Then Cried tears for forgiveness and one more chance once everyone was gone

Enough that when that day comes that our chances are no more

That we have a chance to enter His kingdom once God opens up Heaven doors
