Yesterday I presented a song about asking God for a second chance. This 1995 song, “God of a Second Chance” from Hezekiah Walker and his Love Fellowship Temple choir, revisits the subject and pulls it off beautifully. I love the lyric that simply asks, “Restore my song.”
The female lead singer is Juanita Bynum, who went on to become a noted televangelist. The ending two minute+ exhortation that starts at 5:10 is lovely. This song can make one weep; well, it can make ME weep. Enjoy.
- God Of A Second Chance Hezekiah Walker & The LFT Choir 7:46
Lord I need to feel the touch of Your hand
Your will for my life I want to understand
Lord forgive me like only You can
For your the God of a second chance
Lord I’m tired of the way that I am
In Your love I want to live and stand
To adhere to Your every command
For You’re the God of a second chance
For You’re the God of a second chance…
Show me
All of my wrongs
Forgive me
And make strong
Oh Save me
Restore my song
For You’re the God of a second chance
You gave me
A second chance
You forgave me like only You can
You gave me
A second chance
