The Lord of Second Chance
THE LORD OF SECOND CHANCE
‘I will give you back years eaten by cankerWORM’
Promises like this are to our heavenly father, a NORM
Ability to honour His words are what make up His FORM
No matter the challenges we face, even in a STORM
Our God is able to turn around our situation, never lukeWARM
He has promised us mansions, even if you stay in a DORM
For many people, problems come with speed of a WIND
They look around for succor, but are unable to FIND
At those times, the promises in the scriptures come to MIND
You lift up your voice to the heavens, then loose and BIND
Folks are succeeding in this world, don’t be left beHIND.
Take up your battle-axe; if it’s blunt, try to GRIND
Though you have wasted time on worthless LEISURE
The Lord has you in mind, do search the SCRIPTURE
But you must be ready to follow Him, not a MIXTURE
His servants keep reminding us of the RAPTURE
The Lord’s coming is not on any calendar or FIXTURE
The call to commitment is greater than any call of NATURE
