It’s Monday and time to swap those songs that have been dancing around in your heart! I love discovering what songs have been encouraging you lately, please share a link in the comments section so we can all take a listen. I have been introduced to so many great songs over the past few months simply because someone took the time to share it.
The song I am sharing this week was found that way too. It’s another song by Rend Collective Experience called Second Chance. A couple of weeks ago someone posted this video on the People of the Second Chance Facebook page. I fell in love with the lyrics. Just beautiful.
My future hangs on this
You make preciousness from dust
Please don’t stop creating me
Your blood offers the chance
To rewind to innocence
Reborn, perfect as a child
CHORUS:
Oh Your cross, it changes everything
There my world begins again with You
Oh Your cross, it’s where my hope restarts
A second chance is Heaven’s heart
When sin and ugliness
Collide with redemption’s kiss
Beauty awakens by romance
Always inside this mess
I have found forgiveness
Mercy as infinite as You
Countless second chances
We’ve been given at the cross
Countless second chances
We’ve been given at the cross
Fragments of brokenness
Salvaged by the art of grace
You craft life from our mistakes
Black skies of my regrets
Outshone by this kindness
New life dawns over my soul

Beautiful song, Kelli. Thanks for sharing. Oh, and I can relate to crying while driving 🙂
