No More Chains

I couldn’t take the cruelty any more so I moved out I would make it on my own I had no shadow of doubt I fell for the first guy who showed me his charm Little did I know, my body I would harm I allowed him to show me how to get away Had no idea from God I would stray I saw the needle coming, just one little poke I let him fill my arms with coke I wanted to forget what mom did to me I believed in this highs fantasy After a while the coke had me in its chains I needed to have more flowing through my veins I started smoking it and even snorting White powder on my nose seemed very sporting The feeling this high gave me didn’t last long I knew deep down inside that this was so wrong This drug was bringing me further down then the floor Eating me alive to the very core I knew this wasn’t how I wanted to live My life was more important, I had so much to give So I fell down on my knees and began to pray Give me the strength to fight and to you Lord I will obey I cried and begged with tears down my face Gave up the guy and the coke then moved away from that place Never once did I look back upon my sin I knew God loved me and wanted me to win I forgave my mom for all the pain I realized by hating her I had nothing to gain The Lord read my heart and answered my plea God has saw to it that I am now free.
