Karen Clark Sheard - 2nd Chance Lyrics






[Verse 1:]
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

[Chorus:]
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

[Verse 2:]
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

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
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

[Chorus]

  21. M.... O....

    THIS SONG GOT ME EMOTIONAL. I REMEMBER WHEN THIS CAME OUT I MET KAREN AND TOOK A PIC WITH HER AT BEREAN IN GEORGIA. SENT PIC TO MOM AND LIL BROTHER AT THAT TIME WAS 8 yrs old and when he seen the pic he tells my mom MAURICE GONE BE FAMOUS. AWE! THANK THE LORD FOR SAVING MY LIFE AND GIVING ME MANY CHANCES. My brother didn't even know who Karen clark was, he was prophesying. HEY GLORY.

  22. E.... S....

    God is so amazing and he's incredible, he's show's the people so much mercy. He gave me a second chance and he open my eye's he showed me the truth path. At school I would ignore people I would only talk to certain individuals. I was nice to people I was mean to people. No one's perfect only Jesus is, there was a time I abandon church for a long while. Bad things happened to u when you don't pray when u don't talk to GOD. I was saved since I was a child and I rarely witness in school.

    I went to school's where there was Gangs and I felt alone at school but I wasn't.
    At the school's I went to there was chaos, violence, there was hell. There are certain things people did I couldn't do.

    I never smoke.
    I had beer but I never had alcohol.
    I never has sex. I'm a 21 year old virgin.

    We all go through things that test our faith, just how strong is your faith with GOD. My faith is strong but it could be stronger I pray everyday and I'll read The Bible from time to time. Mother Teresa said Life's a game play it? I can see what she meant, at first I didn't understand. Life is a game play it play to win we are going to be tested everyday. Stay strong and believe we all have to overcome hardship.

    The way into heaven The Sinner's Pray
    Lord Jesus I am a sinner I believe you died and bled for my sins, come into my heart and Save my soul. After you say the sinner's prayer.
    Go to church, read the Bible, Live right, and tell other's about The Sinner's Prayer.

    ps. AMEN THANK U Jesus we love u, I love you.

I know its hard (I lost my grandmother suddenly a few months ago), and I know that no words will make it any easier-- it's something that you just have to walk through. Walk through it though-- with God-- and realize that he is right there with you, wiping your tears away and easing your pain. Remember that GOD IS A FAITHFUL GOD!! Keep holding ON!!!!!

    @Ehmcee2010 I agree with you 100% lol :)

  44. A.... A....

  45. M.... W....

    @allinonegirl17 ANNND I KNO U DIDNT SAY KCSSS WASS THE QUEEN OF GOSPEL BUT NOW THAT MY COUSIN WENT TO BE WITH THE LORD kcs iss and i love me some j moss and kcs they are the only cds i have literall y i treat those thing aas if they were bibles and im very defenisve about j moss and kcs idk why but i love em and i wasnt trying to be disrespectful sorry if it sounded like it god bless u faithful servant:)

  46. A.... B....

    @allinonegirl17 With all do respect ms mercedes, no one is trying to discredit the wonderful Albertina and i happen to be a HUUUUGGGEEE fan of KCS myself, but i never said she was the queen. And also, i never said jmoss was the king of gospel music i said gospel music production. I do believe that any music love or 'connoiseur', if you will, would agree that what ever he produces sounds incredible. I feel as if we should not be so quick to react so agressively without understanding.

  47. M.... W....

    @th3youngsing3r watch it im jmoss and karen clark sheard number one fan i dnt care what anybody say. aalso i love j moss with all my heart but hes not the king of gospel he the prince and the queen of gospel isnt kcs i love her but she snto albertina walker is which is my cousin my name is mercedes walker and her uncle is my dad first cousin also now kcs is the queen now she gone r.i.p kuzzo walker

  48. A.... B....

    This song really gets my creative juices flowing! That J moss if the king of gospel music production!

  49. A.... J....

    @th3youngsing3r I agree, this may be one of the most slept on Albums period. It definitely ministered to me, many of days.

  50. A.... B....

    I don't understand why this album was looked over like it was. The songs are well written and produced (and there are no worries about the vocals ofcourse). So i just don't understand.

  51. R.... R....

    this song helps me get threw the hard time in school!! 11th grade

  52. T.... A....

    we all have gotten a 2nd chance!!

  53. S.... ....

    this sounds so much like kirk franklin's Hero...especially as she says u saved the day...and the tune too actually

  54. A.... ....

    God has given us all here at Austin Love Ministries a second chance. God is the way, truth and the life. Choose God because he is so amazing and Remember God is Love and Love never fails.........

    God Bless you!

  55. s.... ....

    Those runs on this song are flawless...and i mean flawless and the bass is great.

  56. B.... S....

    I can listen to this over and over again...
