My heart is overflowing With a love that just keeps growing Lighting the path toward hope Leaving me weightless, like a feather More alive because we’re together My mind is filled with joy Laughter and love, amazing power Whispered to the heavens On the rays of lemon sunlight Reflected in the stars As they twinkle through the night Exciting the sapphire skies My thoughts are flooded with Joy, feelings that simply destroy The shadows that might harm That sinking feeling of wrong The darkness in the storm Your presence is like a promise Assuring me of the happiness That flows through my veins Uncovering the whisper of grace My dreams are sometimes alive With the brilliance of intimate skies Filled with hope and faith Colored in hues of silent prayers Awakening the soul to its praise To a Father who brings out the way Toward freedom, redemption Salvation and the second chance That comes from giving in to His wisdom And leaning on the word, the One Who guides our hearts toward home My heart is bursting with radiance Vibrant twists and turns Of laughter, joy and truth Brought alive by the sounds of goodness Discovered on the wings of mercy Brought to life inside where I know There is only this hope, this belief That God is alive and He brings peace Beyond understanding, a shining Example of His love, His kindness, His wisdom and strength The reason He gives us all A second chance He is a God of second chances A God of light and laughter A God of redemption – filled with The zeal that will thrill spirits Send tingles of fulfillment Wake up the sleeping soul and kindle A reason for living on the edge Of a sincerity, a serenity – a faith That gives from the depths of its place Amid the worries and sorrows and reasons To let go of this opportunity To share God’s deliverance with those Who need, most of all, to hear of Him! Jesus is the reason for every thought Every feeling on the heart Every desire from the soul The rich and brilliant hope that flows Through veins that are alive with Sensations of sweet faith Salvation comes – not to those who wait But to those who repent and praise Those who know Jesus brings a second chance!

From start to finish, an amazing write with breathtaking and heart enduring prayerful lines composed. This should be in churches to lift the congregants. I love it and happened to read it when my emotions were in need, and my inner 'I Am' was nourished. You are such a good writers and a joy to read. Blessings ...CayCay

I for one know that God is a God of second chances, but often I wish humans were also. Your closing stanza is SPOT ON CORRECT. Great job.
