LORD, ONLY THIS CHANCE
A Gospel Afrobeat & R&B Anthem
Composed by Patrick Muzondi Makamo
[Intro] (Soft piano, strings, then Afro percussion fades in)
I've come too far to turn back now...
I've cried enough tears...
I've fought battles no one knows...
Lord... this is my cry...
Only this chance...
Only You...
Only this chance...
Verse 1
I have climbed every mountain,
Walked through fire and rain.
I have searched for every answer,
Still I carried all this pain.
When my strength was almost gone,
When my hope was hanging low,
I remembered all Your promises,
You're the only God I know.
Pre-Chorus
I won't hide my desperation.
I won't silence this prayer.
If You opened seas for Moses,
You'll meet me right here.
Anthem Chorus
Lord... only this chance!
Stretch out Your mighty hand!
Lift me higher, make a way,
Let my night become my day.
Lord... only this chance!
I know You understand.
I've tried everything I knew,
Now my life belongs to You.
I don't care what people say!
I don't care what people think!
Your power is greater than my fear,
Your voice is the only one I hear.
Lord... only this chance!
I'm trusting You again!
Verse 2
People told me it was over,
Said my dreams would never rise.
But they cannot stop Your purpose,
They cannot rewrite my life.
Every failure made me stronger,
Every tear became a seed.
Now I'm standing on Your promise,
Knowing You are all I need.
Build
When my strength is gone...
You remain.
When my doors are closed...
You remain.
When the world walks away...
You remain.
Forever faithful...
Forever able...
Bridge (Choir joins)
You are my Healer!
You are my Father!
You are my Provider!
You are my Defender!
No mountain too high!
No valley too low!
Wherever You lead me,
I'll faithfully go!
Only You!
Can rewrite my story.
Only You!
Can turn my pain to glory.
Only You!
Can open impossible doors.
I'll keep believing...
I'll keep praising...
I'll keep dancing...
Until my miracle comes!
Final Chorus (Big Afrobeat drop)
Lord... only this chance!
I surrender everything!
You are able!
You are faithful!
You are worthy, King of Kings!
I don't care what people say!
I don't care what people think!
When You speak, every chain must break!
When You move, every mountain shakes!
Lord... only this chance!
Turn my story into praise!
Lord... only this chance!
Let the whole world see Your grace!
Outro
This is not the end of me...
This is the beginning.
The God who never fails...
Will never fail me.
I'll keep believing.
I'll keep praising.
I'll keep moving.
Because my only chance...
Is Jesus Christ.
(Repeat with choir)
Only this chance...
Only You...
Only this chance...
Only You...
Jesus...
I'm trusting You.
