Verse 1

In the song of the living, in this journey of life

I've had my share of happiness, I've known some pain and strife.

I've gently rocked the cradle, cried tears thru pomp and circumstance

So, I never thought in love, I would need a second chance

In the tapestry that's woven, in the fabric of my days.

I've baked some birthday memories, I've emptied nests along the way.

I lost a hearth and home, slept in sorrow's lonely trance

So I never thought that love, should give me a second chance.

Chorus:

Like a shining star you came, into my darkest night.

You sang a song of happiness, I stepped from lost to light.

You breathed into my broken heart, the joy of life's dance,

I never thought that love would give me a second chance.

Verse 2

I am writing a new chapter, you're the hero of each page

It's time to start the second act, you have the center stage

We'll dance to a new melody, finding our own step and stance

Discovering the ebb and flow, of love's sweet second chance.

Oh, Holy Redeeming god, we stand here today

And thank you from our humble hearts for showing us your way.

We celebrate the lessons learned, for pasts that laughed and cried

But, we promise as we journey on, we'll never leave Your side.

Final Chorus:

For, Like a shining star You came, into our darkest night.

You clothed us with your loving grace, We stepped from lost to Light.

You breathed into our broken hearts, the joy of life's Dance

Trusting in Your faithfulness, that breathes each Second Chance.

Yes, we know it is a gift of grace that brings this second chance.
