One More Chance Lyrics


Yeah, oh, yeah, yeah
Yeah, ohCan You give me just one more chance?
Can You give me just one more chance
All I'm asking for is one more chanceI'm just a dead man walkin', I've got nothing to lose
Tomorrow is not promised, might as well tell the truth
Truth is I always loved Ya, my pride got in the way
Gotta get this off my chest, I pray it's not too lateYou gave me everything, everything I needed and more
I saw You reaching for me, that's when I slammed the door
But look at me now, I'm just a mess
And I must confessI cried all day, prayed all night
I'm willing to make all my wrongs right
One more chance
Can You give me one more chance?
Can You give me one more chance?I have refused to go to my grave
Knowing that I treated You this way
One more chance
Can You give me one more chance?
Can You give me one more chance?I'm just a dead man walkin', just hear me out

I'm askin' for forgiveness that I can't live without
Truth is I don't deserve it, I should be locked away
Throw away the key, never see the light of dayOh, but they can't judge me 'cause I judge myself
And I surrender, I'm in need of help
I need You to see me, I have learned my lesson
Here it is Lord, this is my confessionI cried all day, prayed all night
I'm willing to make all my wrongs right
One more chance
Can You give me one more chance?
Can You give me one more chance?I have refused to go to my grave
Knowing that I treated You this way
One more chance
Can You give me one more chance?
Can You give me one more chance?I lied, I cheated
When I should have fought for love, I retreated
Then I placed the blame on You
Broke the ways that I was through
Looking out for me, left my responsibilitiesYou tried, then I knew it
But all along I knew what I was doin'
The life I thought I had I lost it
I'm cleanin' up my closet
How could I be so cold
Have mercy on my soulOne more chance, one more chance
Just one, just one, just one, just one
Just one, just one, just one, just oneOne more chance, one more chance
Just one, just one, just one, just one
Just one, just one, just one, just oneI cried all day, prayed all night
I'm willing to make all my wrongs right
I have refused to go to my grave
Knowing that I treated You this wayGive me one more chance

Born and raised in the Motor City , Haddon was another gospel child prodigy, both as minister and musician. He gave his first sermon at the church of his father, Bishop Clarence Haddon, at age 11, and was directing the choir by age 13.

Haddon began his recording career in the mid 90s with the Voices of Unity on the small Tyscot label. As the group leader for their three albums, Haddon expressed his forward looking musical view, merging elements of soul, hip-hop and funk in the group's Gospel music. VOU had some mild success on the Gospel charts, but by the late 90s Haddon was ready to move more clearly front and center as a solo artist. His first two solo albums, This is My Story and Chainbreaker continued his artistic development and made some moderate noise on the Gospel charts.

However, I’m not sure that even the devoted fan base he had been accumulating could have anticipated his late 2002 release, Lost and Found, his first on giant Gospel label Verity. A project as ambitious as Tonex’s noted debut, Pronounced Toe-Nay, Lost and Found is an exhaustive, inspired opus by a Gospel artist who, with its release, clearly declared himself a new Gospel star.

The disc begins sounding like a dance Gospel album, leading off with two funky numbers, “D.D.” and “Oh Yeah” (the latter featuring the ubiquitous Fred Hammond). From there it covers broad territory, including bluesy, southern soul (“Ain’t Got Nothing” and the radio hit, “Sinner’s Prayer”), Praise & Worship (“Worship Medley”), Prince-style electric soul (“It’s Me”), big ballads (“Stand Still”) and joyous calypso (“The Praises Go (Up, Up, Up)”). Haddon is literally bursting with musical ideas on the album and, amazingly, virtually all work. Equally impressive is the strong lyrical content of the disc – much of it autobiographical -- focusing principally on the power of redemption and the ability of faith to rescue lost or miscast souls.

It took me almost two months to review Lost and Found, mostly because it took so long to fully absorb such an ambitious project. Now I can clearly say that this stands, with Mary Mary’s “Thankful” and Tonex’s “O2,” as perhaps the definitive modern Gospel album of this decade, and is a must for both Soul and Gospel lovers.
