ONE CHANCE
Days and nights spent in prayer
Asking for guidance to speak
Revealing to her my feelings
That she’s all love to me.
No questions, no regrets here
I want to hold her close
That she may find comfort
Each time I love her soul.
Some say that it is not worth it
That I don’t have a chance
And yet to them I answer:
‘She is worth waiting for!’
Her tears are my tears
Her joys my joys too
Her eyes are bright light
Her love: far above all gold.
Perhaps her heart is taken
And I have not got a chance
But still I owe it to her
Telling her she’s got my heart.
If, by God’s blessing, she accepts
If she gives me some time
Then I will ever bring her joy
Washing her tears, making her smile.
I’m not perfect nor a saint
Neither the riches nor the most wise
Yet I offer to her one thing:
Together to serve JEHOVAH God.
Evening will see us together
Night will comfort us
Dawn will light with joy
Each day strengthen our bond.
Problems will surely come
From the Lion, the ‘Angel’ of Light
But with Jah’s Spirit and Love
Together we will firmly stand.
The best of me, all of her
I will be her friend and hand;
The world and all its beauty
I shall see through her eyes.
Just one chance, one opportunity
That is all I ask of her:
One moment to last forever
One story that will not end.
Read this carefully now:
She is all I love and need
Earning her affections
The truth shall set us free.
No matter what I’ll be there
In hope, in faith, in love
Believing in her, with her, for her
(Jah first) until the end of time.
Together we will take the road
That leads into the West
And far away will find a land
Where both our hearts may rest.
These are my promises to her
Whose smile is my treasure
Whose love is my goal
My pearl, my star and angel.
You see now, dearest Lady
What I truly mean
Each time I say or write:
“I love YOU now and always…”
