It's Never Too Late

It's never too late


When the storm winds blow-
and you have no where to go
Desperation creeps...inside-
you rely on what you've known


Bridge 1
When calamity strikes you down,
there's a way to turn things around
lift up your eyes- and pray


Chorus
When it seems like the odds are against you
remember good times and what you used to do
When it feels like hope's run out,
and anxiety knocks you around,
Remember to pray...
it's never too late


When it feels like-
your life has passed you by,
You need a change of purpose-
another reason to try


Bridge 2
You've learned from the school of hard knocks,
it's best to remember your God
Lift up your eyes-and pray


Chorus
When it seems like the odds are against you
remember good times and what you used to do
When it feels like hope's run out,
and anxiety knocks you around,
Remember to pray...
it's never too late


Chorus
When it seems like the odds are against you
remember good times and what you used to do
When it feels like hope's run out,
and anxiety knocks you around,
Remember to pray...
it's 
never 
too 
late

Remember to pray...
it's 
never 
too 
late

repeat and fade
