How Often

How often, oh how often In the days that have gone by   Did I sit alone in my bed room Feeling like I wanted to die   I had so many reasons I told myself each day   But God lifted them up and He bared them all away   My heart was filled with hatred About my life I did not care   And the burden I’d lain upon myself Seemed greater than I could bare   A flood of thoughts came over me That filled my eyes with tears   Because of the pain I’d brought on myself For so many, many years   How glad I am now that my life has changed And my burdens are no more   I’ve accepted God Got off the drugs and Finally found my self-love
