2nd Chance Songtext
von Karen Clark Sheard

Dear God, I know what′s right from wrong
But there are times I let myself slip away
Though I've hidden Thy word in my heart
I, sometimes, forsake the extent of Your grace

Shallow as I sometimes behave
Ignoring Your ways
Letting my selfishness conquer my days
Thanks to Your unmerited favor

I strayed away but You saved the day
And You gave me a 2nd chance
It′s been so long since I've been home
I was wrong but You gave a 2nd chance

I strayed away but You saved the day
And You gave me a 2nd chance
It's been so long since I′ve been home
I was wrong but You gave a 2nd chance


Dear God, I try to focus my eyes on You
As I worship in spirit and in truth
Though You′re my light in my darkest hour
But it gets hard to see when I'm all into me

Shallow as I sometimes behave
Ignoring Your ways
Letting my selfishness conquer my days
Thanks to Your unmerited favor

I strayed away but You saved the day
And You gave me a 2nd chance
It′s been so long since I've been home
I was wrong but You gave a 2nd chance

I strayed away but You saved the day
And You gave me a 2nd chance
It′s been so long since I've been home
I was wrong but You gave a 2nd chance

You gave me a chance, I know that I don′t deserve
Lord, throughout my life, there's no one else I'd rather serve
I promise I will do my best to make it into Heaven
For as I sleep and awake, You sustain me
That′s why I love You so

I love You, baby
You gave me a love, a chance


Shallow as I sometimes behave
Ignoring Your ways
Letting my selfishness conquer my days
Thanks to Your unmerited favor

I strayed away but You saved the day
And You gave me a 2nd chance
It′s been so long since I've been home
I was wrong but You gave a 2nd chance

I strayed away but You saved the day
And You gave me a 2nd chance
It′s been so long since I've been home
I was wrong but You gave a 2nd chance

I strayed away but You saved the day
And You gave me a 2nd chance
It′s been so long since I've been home
I was wrong but You gave a 2nd chance

I strayed away but You saved the day
And You gave me a 2nd chance
It′s been so long since I've been home
I was wrong but You gave a 2nd chance
