LAST TIME AROUND
Author(s): Martin M.
Songbook: Unpubbed Inspiration
KeyWords: Bible Characters,

Couldn't see clearly how we'd strayed,
Couldn't see Jesus there was so much in the way,
But honesty and a stand of faith
Helped us to see what a mess we've made,
We were all hiding when we first came
But when the facts were read
There was no one else to blame,
We had a choice to give up then
Or put our hands to the plow and start again

Chorus:
It's the last time around, Lord help us make it,
Last time around, Lord help us take it,
Hand in hand we're gonna reach this land,
It's the last time around,
Last time around

To tell our secrets we were so scared,
But by faith we shared our hearts till they were bare,
They handled us with loving care,
Took time to listen to the things we shared,
Total commitment, the doorknob was high,
Could and old timer like me still hit the sky?
What a sight all those teary eyes,
Singin' do or die, let's give it a try

[Repeat Chorus]

Any distractions and excess weight,
Put'em on the altar for the time is getting late,
Packing our bags light as we can,
Let's give'em Jesus, a missionary again,
Gonna start living again by faith
Stop trusting in the arm of flesh
To make it pay by God's grace
This old man's gonna change
Sometimes I'll fail but I'll try anyway

[Repeat Chorus]

Comforting others, sharing the blame,
Lord knows in homes it won't be the same,
They'll want to join in the victory
When first they see there's been a change in me,
Things'll be different when we get out there,
Helping each other we'll keep the standard that was shared,
Solving all things through love and prayer,
The answer is Jesus He'll always be there

[Repeat Chorus Twice]
