Lyrics 2nd Chance - Karen Clark Sheard

2nd Chance

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
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
You gave me a chance I know that I don’t deserve
Throughout my life there’s none else I’d rather serve
I promise I will do my best to make it into Heaven
For as I sleep and awake you sustained me
That’s why I love you so
Shallow as I sometimes behave ignoring your ways
Letting my selfishness conquer my days
Thanks to your unmerited favor
