All I Ask Is a Chance To Live
ALL I ASK IS A CHANCE TO LIVE
Oh! How I feel the warmth of God’s grace.
And oh! How I long for the breath of life.
A seed is planted and life begins.
Who is to say what that seed will give?
And all I ask is a chance to live.
Oh! When man’s shadow covers the seed.
Oh! Move aside; let God’s sunshine in.
No cold tears will fall on this seed.
The choice of life is God’s to give.
Listen, listen . What do you hear down deep?
Within, a voice, a voice, oh! I hear.
All I ask is a chance to live.
When time has come, God’s choice is here.
Man no different, the fruit will appear.
Now in his image, his will is to be.
Go forth and love and live his will.
See God’s gift, his gift of seeds is
not for man to give.
And listen, listen and you will hear.
All I ask is a chance to live.
