Rock Bottom and Back
Rock Bottom and Back
So dark and empty, cold and lonely as if in a pit,
But I know now rock bottom is where I had hit.
I called out in fright wanting someone to take me out,
It didn’t matter how I said it, quietly and some a shout.
Rock bottom is not a place I ever imagined to be,
Not a mom, a nurse, a Christian, why me?
I began to sob and held my faces in my hands,
Is this my life? Is this God’s plan?
I fell to my knees and began to pray and cry.
At times in the prayer I even called to God, why?
My life is a mess and I feel so trapped right now,
Tell me how to save myself, please tell me how!
The dark place I was in at an instance shed some light,
I knew it was God’s way I saw it, because this was
At night.
I felt a big weight shifting off my back, I knew
At that instance, my life was getting on track.
Tears fell to cold place around my legs and feet,
But even through the tears, it felt so sweet.
God was with me, I knew this for sure,
I felt light and lifting, true and pure.
Miracles can take place, even in tough times,
We have to believe he is yours and he is mine.
Rock bottom can sneak up and drag you down,
But hold on tight and have strength and stand
Your ground.
God is the saving and amazing grace,
He will keep you on track to win the race.
