Written by: Charles Otto Isbell, Zane Darrel King
You say you've turned your back on God
And tried to
work things out your way
You've tried to heal the hurt inside
But the pain won't go away
You may think God cannot forgive you
After the kind of
life you've lived
But friend I can tell you just how much God forgives
When there's a river of wrongs
That flows through
your mind
And a mountain of faults
Impossible to climb
When you've lost direction
By the way that
you have lived
He'll let you start all over,
That's how God forgives
You say you've done all you can do
And you've found
no one who understands
Your dreams just never quite come true
And you can't give what life demands
You've walked this road with good intentions
But they're swept
away by circumstance
Friend I can tell you that He is
A God of second chance
When there's a river of wrongs
That flows through
your mind
And a mountain of faults
Impossible to climb
When you've lost direction
By the way that
you have lived
He'll let you start all over,
That's how God forgives
When you've lost direction
By the way that
you have lived
He'll let you start all over,
He'll let you start all over
That's how God forgives
