Some of you deep down inside your hearts
Think that you have already disqualified
Yourself from finishing strong
Maybe you’ve communicate adultery
And left your wife for some other woman
Maybe you’ve neglected your kids
To the point that they don’t even
Want to talk you maybe you’re reading
This in a prison cell and you’re honest
Enough to admit that you deserve to be there
Or maybe you came to Christ later in life
And simply feel that you’ve wasted too many years
And lost too much ground in other words
You think that you’ve already messed up your life
So badly that you have no shot at ever finishing strong
If that’s what you’re thinking
Than hang in there with me
We learnt a lot of good stuff in Sunday school
Maybe you did too I learnt about Daniel
In the lions’ den also about the Hebrew kids
They never told me about Manasseh
Manasseh was a man Sunday school teachers
Seems to avoid frankly he’s not the kind guy
You want the kids to know about
That’s probably why his name never came up
Manasseh fits in with guys like
Attila the Hun, Adolf Hitler
Joseph Stalin, Idi Amin and Saddam Hussein
I mean this guys are bad news real bad news
If you crossed Manasseh you paid big time
Lousy start strong finishing
This guy came out of a godly home
With an ungodly heatred for God
In Manasseh we see a man who ran
What may have been the wickedest, bloodiest
And rebellion race a man could ever run
But much later in life
Manasseh changed direction by 180 degrees
And amazingly he finished strong
Now to you my friend you would have
A lousy start but you can finish strong at the end
It does…it really does
If it doesn’t we’re all out of business
I don’t care who you are or what you have done
Or how evil you been
If God could forgive Manasseh He can forgive you
There is still redemption for the soul undone
