One More Chance

(album: The 7th Episode - Live In Toronto - 2007)

So many times I failed Him
And done things my own way
I fell down so low y'all
I thought I'd never see the light of day
But then He took me by my hand
And enabled me to stand

I'm so glad, so glad that He gave me
One more chance

Hey, He should have given up on me, y'all
And anointed someone else, now
But he looked beyond my faults, church
Cause He knew that I needed His help
I wanna thank the Lord for healing me
And trying me once again

I'm so glad, so glad that He gave me
One more chance

Oh, so many times
I felt like giving up but He kept my mind
You kept my mind
You kept it in perfect peace
And You'll never find
You'll never find
Nobody like the Lord

I'm so glad, so glad that He gave me
One more chance

Oh, so many times
I felt like giving up but He kept my mind
You kept my mind
You kept it in perfect peace
And You'll never find
You'll never find
Nobody like the Lord

I'm so glad, so glad that He gave me
One more chance

Wow, He gave me one more (One more chance)
I said, He gave me one more (One more chance)
He gave me one more (One more chance)
He gave me another chance (One more chance)

He should have stopped my heart (One more chance)
While I was dancing in the discotheque (One more chance)
I said, I danced on Friday (One more chance)
And I danced on Saturday (One more chance)

With a on [?] my left hand (One more chance)
I had a cigarette in my right hand (One more chance)
He could of brought me over (One more chance)
With my hypocrite self (One more chance)

Because with those same hands (One more chance)
I came in church on Sunday morning (One more chance)
And I sang in the choir (One more chance)
And then I caught my step (One more chance)

He should have brought me over (One more chance)
While I was in my backslipping stage (One more chance)
Because the Bible says (One more chance)
That they will be cut off (One more chance)

And I wanna thank You (Thank You)
Thank You (Thank You)
For grace (Thank You)
For mercy (Thank You Lord)

For patience (Thank You)
For kindness (Thank You)
For strength (Thank You)
For power (Thank You Lord)

For blood (Thank You)
The blood of Jesus (Thank You)
That washed (Thank You)
Renewed me (Thank You Lord)

Empowered me (Thank You)
It kept me (Thank You)
It washed me (Thank You)
It loved me (Thank You Lord)

One more (One more chance)
He should have messed me up (One more chance)
With my fickle mind (One more chance)
He should of brought me over (One more chance)

He could of let me trip out (One more chance)
While I was doing my own thing (One more chance)
I could have been a junkie (One more chance)
And I could have been a crackhead (One more chance)

Sitting in the gutter (One more chance)
Trying to find a vein (One more chance)
If He had spent my mind (One more chance)
I would have been a crackhead (One more chance)

I would have been over on Cicero (One more chance)
Somewhere in the South Side of Chicago (One more chance)
With a needle in my arm (One more chance)
Trying to find a vein (One more chance)

Would have been looking for the dope man (One more chance)
The weed that I used to smoke (One more chance)
I could have been left with angel dust (One more chance)
Though I would have had them thick (One more chance)

I could have went crazy (One more chance)
I could have went cuckoo (One more chance)
I said, I should have been crazy (One more chance)
I said, I should have been crazy (One more chance)

Doing the jailhouse rock (One more chance)
Somewhere on Northwest early (One more chance)
Over on the fifth floor (One more chance)
Having conniptions every day (One more chance)

I could have been dead (One more chance)
Living in the my grave (One more chance)
This [?] right here tonight (One more chance)
Should have been my memorial service (One more chance)

This musical tonight (One more chance)
Should have been a celebration of life (One more chance)
But I rose to tell you (One more chance)
If you still in sin (One more chance)

Go out from among them (One more chance)
And be separated (One more chance)
While You still got one more (One more chance)
