A Second Chance

Romans 5:6-8

Christ had died for the unrighteous sinners,
Giving a second chance to be prizewinners;
For a righteous man rarely one would die,
At most you would just barely hear a sigh;
Yet by chance for a good man even dare,
Taking his life seems like being so unfair;
God demonstrated to us proof of His love,
Even though we were still sinners thereof;
Christ died for to save us from the wrath,
By repenting and walk the righteous path.
We have been given a new lease on life,
Even through all of the our toil and strife;
Since God has given us a second chance,
An opportunity of eternal life to enhance;
With the blood of Christ in being crucified,
Becoming the sacrificial lamb as justified;
For the cross became a symbol of choice,
Either continue in sin or begin to rejoice;
Another chance for you to open your eyes,
For to be Able to claim your eternal prize,
