A place where there are no worn torn countries, diseases, poverty, bloodshed, natural and man made disasters, a paradise that is free from suffering and sin. This was Gods plan for us. Given the choice of freedom to choose what is right and wrong to do, many times men fall short. Seeing the pattern that is in the ages of time, the fall begins when men stirs in the heart a selfish carnal desire where faith & trust in God is cast aside while monetary faith increases => causing the fabrics of Gods morality to be just a silhouette of the times. The fall of people in each generation after once believing in God wholeheartedly is repeated in the later generations of Abraham, Moses, David, Daniel and our generation . Reading the historic stories of the past, men can uncover how gracious and loving God is towards his people, in having a redemptive plan to bring people back to him. Giving people a second chance. Knowing well people are undeserved. But his love covers multitudes. He lifts those who call on his name and draws near to those who seek him. Taking the penalty of sin on the cross, bearing it all for the love of his people. This is our Lord Jesus Christ...a second chance is given...
Hillsong United - Second Chance
You called my name, reached out your hand
Restored my life, and I was redeemed
The moment you entered my life
Amazing grace, Christ gave that day
My life was changed, went from my shoulders
Fell the weight of my sin
So it’s with everything I am, I reach out for your hand
The hope, the change, the second chance I’ve gained
On you I throw my life, casting all my fears aside
How could greater love than this, ever possibly exist?
Consumed my thoughts, as I rest in you
I’m now in love, with the Saviour
Bearing the marks of his love
So I wait upon you now, with my hands released to you
Where a little faith is enough, to see mountains lift and move
Yea I wait upon you now, dedicated to your will,
To his love that will remain, a love that never fails
