Out of the Darkness and Into the Light
Lost and alone in habits so dark,
Trying to move forward but stuck in park,
Blinded by temptations and evil desires,
Always falling short of what was required,
Caring about no one, only myself,
Refusing to believe that I needed help,
Drinking myself to sleep every night,
How will I ever come out of this darkness and into the light?
Neglecting my family and breaking their hearts,
Not even realizing my life was falling apart,
Breaking the law and ruining my name,
Playing with life as if it were a game,
Killing myself slowly, wishing I would just die,
My heart so cold now that I can’t even cry,
My plans and dreams pulling out of sight,
How will I ever come out of this darkness and into the light?
Sinking deeper and deeper into this dark hole,
Desperately searching for someone to save my lost soul,
Losing all the people that are closest to me,
I now know I need help can God be the key,
How can I be chosen, who am I,
Just another addict that wanted to die,
Taking a hold of me with a grip so tight,
Have I finally found the way out of the darkness and into the light?
Being delivered from all my evil ways,
Wanting to live for many more days,
When I am hurt He is there to heal my wounds,
Singing Him praises to my new favorite tunes,
Although I was lost, I am now found,
Never again to be pulled back down,
I was once blinded, but now I have sight,
I am out of the darkness and have found the Light!
