The Victims of Suicide

Can you hear their cries? Each minute another will die. Graveyards are filling up; all the victims of suicide. Once a man was loved; betrayed by his girlfriend. She promised to never leave him; another promise broken again. He no longer takes the pain so he makes his move today. With a gun in hand he shoots...he just took his life away. This story here is true, a broken man who just gave up. I wished it all but fiction, so sad it's not made up. Instead of fighting the pain, he chose another route. Instead of fighting the pain, he chose the easy way out. They're jumping off the bridge. They're slitting their own wrist. They're shooting themselves dead. Now what is wrong with this? They hang, burn, shoot, stab and injure themselves too. They believe that voice that says, "Give it up, you are through." I know just how it feels. You just want to give up. Your heart wants you to fight, but your flesh just says, "Enough!" Life can be so hard. You often cry in bed. Instead of facing the day, you'd rather give up instead. Death stares at you often. You feel the fear inside. Instead of standing up to it you often run and hide. A loved one has left you? In your dreams it do haunt. Look up, there is a sea and you'll catch any fish you want! Begin to read the Scriptures; they'll renew your life. There are power in the words, so pull it close and hold on tight. So I know you can do it, if only you believe. Just take back your life. Your soul you shall redeem. Can you hear their cries? Each minute another will die. Graveyards are filling up. Don't be a victim of suicide. For them I sigh For them I cry In their graves they do lie. Said it once Say it again Don't be a victim of suicide.
