Every night that closes a day brings opportunity -

To repent of  the mistakes you've made, and failed to see....

At the time caught up in the confusions of  the day -

But now at last comes the quiet moment when you can pause to pray -

For the second chance you want to do the thing that's right -

Feeling guilty you run in thought towards tomorrow's light.

We do not deserve that second change, nor do we ever earn -

The wages of  our blessings.  On we go but never learn -

On we go, still grasping out for what we think we need.

Greedy for the gains of  life....  Ears deaf  when others plead -

For what you could supply....  Night comes once more....

Pay what you owe -

Try again -

Then into tomorrow you can safely go....
