Another Chance

I’m so sorry for what I’ve done
I’m so sorry, my heart is torn
I’m asking forgiveness
I’ve created a mess
This is not the first time
But the third
I should have learned my lesson
To ask for another chance
I’ve got a lot of nerves

But You’re not a God of limited chances
Your mercy endureth forever
If only I had made better decisions
If only I had listened
If only I had acknowledged You
And leaned not to my own understanding (Proverbs 3:5)

But now I’m in a bind
And I’m pleading one more time
Please forgive me
I am so sorry.

Insight
God is a God of many chances. 1 John 1:9 says If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteouness.

All I Have Is A Prayer

All I have is a prayer
That’s my scintilla of hope
In spite of all I’ve tried and done
I can get no where

God, your mercy is all I know
The time is almost near
For the verdict to e read
My prayer, please hear
Please give me one more chance

I don’t won’t to turn back
But it’s hard to move ahead
My chances are slime to get there
I need a miracle
And all I have is a prayer.

Scripture Reference:
Matthew 17:20
And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, if ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

Emergency Call

By the number of missed calls and voicemails received
Somebody just died, it had to be
Why else would the calls within the hour be so many
Waited till I sat down somewhere to respond
Got to get prepared for which relative is gone

Didn’t even listen to voicemails, just returned one of the calls
Asked what was this emergency, that got me full of nervous energy
A lot of money is needed-urgently
The amount substantial, and I didn’t have on me
So, went to ATM reluctantly

Wish they told me days ago about this money need
But then I thought,
This emergency call is actually a blessing
Although a hole in the budget it will leave
I’ll survive because I won’t have to grieve
I’m just thanking God everyone’s well and alive
Money can be replaced, life cannot
So, I quit complaining and started thanking God for the call I got.

Scripture Reference:
Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. 2 Corinthians 9:7
