By the Grace of God

By the grace of God,
I am free of my addictions
I am free of my afflictions
I am free to be the person 
That God wants me to be!
 
After being a drug addict for 24 years
After all of the heartache and the tears
After all of the strife I brought to my life 
After overcoming all of my fears
After beating my addiction and
Being clean for these past 15 years
 
By the grace of God,
I am free of my addictions
I am free of my afflictions
I am free to be the person 
That God wants me to be!
