Choice
it was all a matter of choice though sometimes i felt forced
drawn to my mad addictions by an evil magnetic force
like a horse led down to a river that was poisoned and polluted
i drank the devils water and my soul became diluted
what was clean was made dirty
what was pure was made filth
slowly drowning in my sorrows and slowly praying for quick death
my life became a battlefield, i was my own worst enemy
my mind became a prison where convicts don't go free
my heart was bound in shackles and my spirit bound in chains
i spent the minutes,days,and years in blackened misery
but in the depths of darkness i saw a speck of light and soon it started growing giving sight
where i was blind
finally i made a choice i chose life instead of death
Jesus bent those iron bars and gave me holy breath
He stripped those shackles off me and the chains fell to the ground
He spoke a word and the prison fell with a mighty thunderous sound
now i make good choices cause i'm living in the light
i walk now in His presence turning wrong into His right
