Lyrics
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
When from my shoulders
Fell the weight of my sin
So it's with everything I am
I reach out for Your hand
The hope for 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
Consume my thoughts
As I rest in You
I'm now in love
With a Saviour
Bearing the marks of His love
So I'll wait upon You now
With my hands released to You
Where a little faith's enough
To see mountains lift and move
And I'll wait upon You now
Dedicated to Your will
To this love that will remain
A love that never fails

Meaning & Inspiration
“Second Chance” describes redemption as a decisive encounter with Christ. The lyrics move from being called and restored to the relief of sin’s weight falling away. Grace is not treated as an abstract idea; it changes the singer’s life and creates a new response of trust, surrender, and gratitude. The image of Christ bearing the marks of love keeps the song’s hope tied to His sacrificial love.
Later lines turn that restored life toward patient dependence. Fears are cast aside, hands are released to God, and even small faith is associated with mountains moving. These images closely reflect biblical language about casting anxieties on God and trusting Him in faith. The repeated commitment to wait upon God and remain dedicated to His will presents a second chance as more than a moment of relief. It becomes an enduring life placed in the care of a love that does not fail.
