Lord I Cry

O my God, I cry in the day time, I cry at night, I cry about the alcohol and drugs that has deemed the light. I cry because I was told a horrible lie that drugs and alcohol would make me fly not make die.

So I walk the streets in a daze seems like I'm walking through a never ending maze. Lord i cry because I said I would never do it again but I did It again, seems like I can't win, now I am crying again about my sin.

Then I ended up in the hospital, from there to Rehab. And I was in for a fight, but there good people around to help me make things right, now I am beginning to see the light the light, for you my Lord are paving the way for me to take flight. So I thank you Jesus for opening the door Now I walk with you and I shall cry no more.
