"one more chance"
I feel I have asked so much of you.
I feel so much guilt in my heart,
I don’t know what to say to you.
I feel I have disturbed you more than
anyone else.
I feel like I have blown too many
chances given to me.
Have I struck when I shouldn’t strike?
Why is this happening to me Lord?
With the killing weight of hardship in
a survival dance with my heart,
I came crawling on sore swollen knees
asking for help and a chance to establish
myself.
I want to share your riches with the people
you have given me.
Lord give me another chance.
