Second Chance

I’ve seen difficult days

While trying to change my ways

I’ve faced a lot of scorn

Had my heart torn

I’ve felt ashamed

I’ve been defamed

I’ve gotten lost

Not knowing the cost

Before God turned me around

Put me on solid ground

I’ve fallen far

I’ve had to heal every scar

I’ve fought every enemy

Not knowing what was meant to be

Until God revealed my purpose

Before it rose to the surface

I’ve looked straight ahead

While filled with dread

Until God set my path

Without unleashing His wrath

I’ve felt weak

Before hearing God speak

I’ve started over again

Learned that with faith I’ll win

I’m doing a victory dance

Cause God gave me a second chance

I’ve wondered what I’d find

Until God gave me peace of mind

I’ve grappled with doubt

Until God worked things out

I’ve grappled with fear

Until God held me near

I’ve searched for a place

Filled with mercy and grace

Then God gave me a home

Where my soul can roam

I’ve been through every storm

Learned to break every norm

I’ve wondered what to do

How I’d make it through

Then God took my hand

He taught me how to stand

I’ve changed my view

After seeing what God can do

I’m doing a victory dance

Cause God gave me a second chance

Hands Of Love

I feel your hands of love

They feel like heaven above

They hold me close

Like I matter most

They guide the journey

Meant just for me only

They reveal what’s in stone

They never leave me alone

They turn me around

Put me on solid ground

They give me perfect peace

My heart won’t release

They give me something pure

They make me feel secure

They give me pleasure

Beyond all measure

They fill my dreams

Make me burst at the seams

They open my eyes

To a wonderful surprise

They give me a home

Where my soul can roam

They deliver a word

That deserves to be heard

I feel your hands of love

They feel like heaven above

They heal my soul

They make me whole

They make me smile

Even laugh a little while

They fill my core

Before you offer me more

They help me stand

As I hold your hand

They reveal God’s power

Hour after hour

They guide me through the storm

They break every norm

They make me see

What’s meant to be

They reveal the steps I take

All the memories I’ll make

They give me a voice

Before I begin to rejoice

They move my heart

Right where you start

They come from heaven above

Your hands of love

A Prayer And A Miracle

We have a talk with God

The moment makes the day

We heal in every way

We discuss our divine purpose

Before it rises to the surface

God offers perfect peace

Our hearts won’t release

We build our dreams

Until we burst at the seams

We gain strength

As we talk at length

We fall then rise again

Cause faith helps us win

We run our race

In a safe and secure place

We see what’s in stone

Why God never leaves us alone

We share a journey

Meant just for us only

We see something real

Things we can’t conceal

We find something pure

God makes us feel secure

We learn to stand

As we hold God’s hand

We see life lessons learned

All the stripes we’ve earned

We grapple with doubt

Until God works things out

We face our naysayers

As we say our prayers

Knowing God set our path

Without unleashing His wrath

God fights the enemy

He reveals what’s meant to be

God opens our eyes

To a wonderful surprise

We do a victory dance

To celebrate our second chance

We receive a word

That deserves to be heard

We survive every storm

We break every norm

We hold our faith close

Cause faith matters most

We feel God’s power

Hour after hour

We stand on principle

After a prayer and miracle

Candlelight And You

You fill my days

With your loving ways

You remove my fear

Whenever you hold me near

What I feel is real

Something I can’t conceal

You fill my soul

You make me whole

You give me something pure

You make me feel secure

You give me pleasure

Beyond all measure

God planted the seed

To a blessing indeed

Faith made me see

That we’re meant to be

You lift me up

You fill my cup

You are the light

I follow day and night

You’ve given me a home

Where my soul can roam

You make me smile

Even laugh a little while

You share the journey

Meant just for me only

You remove all doubt

That things will work out

You put a move on my heart

Right from the start

You’ve turned me around

Put me on solid ground

You fill my core

Before you offer me more

You fill my space

With mercy and grace

You help me stand

As you hold my hand

You reveal what I’ll gain

Through heartache and pain

You give me a voice

Before I rejoice

You reveal what’s in stone

You never leave me alone

The things you do

Make me feel brand new

You never pretend

Cause your love will never end
