Second Chances
She said she had enough and she didn't want to try
Life was really tough and she just wanted to die
She began writing a letter in the telling of her side
For things couldn't get better "my pain I can't hide"
She said a lot of things and was nearly at the end
Such pain life brings "I will never be able to mend"
In signing her name that pain came flowing through
Feeling such shame made these conclusions she drew
With the pills in her hand looking at herself in the mirror
A second to understand as the Lord made her way clearer
Dropping those pills in the toilet again looking at her face
"Oh Lord it was You I bet" who showed me such loving Grace
Her Mom did find that note it being such a shock to her eyes
Listening to what she had wrote never did she even realize
When she came home that day Mom was waiting just inside
With so many things to say, together they just sat there and cried
I pray the Lord will give comfort to all those souls who need comforting
I pray the Lord will give peace to all those minds who are in need of peace
I pray the Lord will cradle the hearts of all those whose hearts are broken
I pray that You will realize the special individual love that He has for You
1 Corinthians 1:4
