The Saved Addict

Everyone has heard the stories; The ones where we fall. Relapse in our history Now we just try to stay strong. Families broken And children hurt All because we wanted to do something That paved the road to the graveyard’s dirt. The quiet user’s mind in shambles. They withdrew and succumbed to the pain That the drugs were the only way to stay numb… To know they are living in vain. The answer isn’t easy And it isn’t one we find quickly. The answer is to give the burden, Give the pain, Give up the gamble, Wash off our shame. We can rise again to be above But what keeps us from glory Is the drug’s selfish love. The false security that the pain will subside. That we are safe as long as we stay high. The lies it told to our hearts and our minds Are nothing compared to the depth of the bottom When we pray to God for a life saving line. He will pull us out Of those dark depressing moments. He takes on your heart so he can live in us too. The power of God is all we need To make us into something new. We hurt alone but that’s our choice. God is already talking to you… Can’t you hear his voice? Give up the fight, He already won that. So let him do what God does best And save the wretched from their own demise!
