another chance
Dallas Fort Worth Mass Choir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Clean me up, Jesus
I didn't mean to hurt you, or desert you
′Cause I love you so much
I admit it, that I did it
I didn't mean to let you down
Please Jesus turn my life around
And give me another chance
Oooohhhh, oooohhhhh
Everytime I try to do the right thing
I always end up doing the wrong thing
The only thing I seem to do is keep on messin' up
I get so confused, Lord I don′t know what to do
But you told me if I would seek your face
Turn from my wicked ways
You would heal me, forgive me, and give me another chance
REPEAT
ROLL
Another chance
Another chance
Another chance

However, despite their best intentions, they find themselves constantly making the wrong choices, which leaves them feeling confused and lost.
The singer finds solace in the knowledge that Jesus promised to heal and forgive them if they sought his face, turned away from their wicked ways, and asked for another chance. The repetition of the phrase, "Another chance", at the end of the song emphasizes the singer's earnest plea for grace and a fresh start.

Lord have Mercy! When people just weren’t singing for fame, but truly ministering and being used by God! This isn’t just a performance.

If we GOD' S PEOPLE would just humble ourselves before God in Jesus' name present these gifts from Him to God himself, I know God would be pleased and we his servants will be blessed. This is true. God bless all
