Last Chance
My last chance I must grab with haste
Marked by well-doing in God’s grace
Praying that it’s always love-based.
My last chance I must grab with haste
Producing best amidst good taste
While running strong along life’s race.
My last chance* I must grab with haste
Marked by well-doing in God’s grace.
*Ecclesiastes 9:11 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
