I know you promised not again

But here I am, and ready when

You feel tired, your head gets loud

Sun-filled skies, roll in grey clouds

Life seems to lose, its precious shine

Loving family, fades to whine

Bit by bit, it disappears

The angers back, so is fear

You decide, you’ve had enough

Your life is hard, boring, rough.

The familiar tug of war, begins

You are doomed, you never win

Apathy settles, stealing your soul

Your heart shrivels, growing cold

The hungers on and getting bold

Need precedes, everything ….

Your wife, your kids, your wedding ring

Past is forgotten, your future, untold

After this night, you may never grow old.

The Lord and Master, has called for you

For him there’s nothing, you won’t do

Torn between, what’s right and wrong

In this place you won`t last long

A thought flickers, between your ears

Heard at a meeting, although it`s been years

There’s only one, who can stop it all

His name is God, please make the call

His fix is nothing, you’ve ever tried

It’s not based in hurt, shame and lies.

He’ll set you free, and clean your thoughts

And rid you of old, negative rot.

You’ll become more, than you ever knew

Reborn, re-birthed and hopeful too.

Words of wisdom, ‘help me please.’

Tears of joy, you’re on your knees

One day at a time, you move away

From those dark and hopeless, empty days

And one day in the mirror, you will see

That all of this – was meant to be.

Back on track, all is right.

With God in charge, you can win this fight.
