The Coward's Way Out
to take a whole bottle of pills
to knowingly give up on life
to jump to your death
just to avoid struggle and strife
to disabuse alcohol
to take a drug over-dose
to voluntary check out of life
to have death's door close
the coward's way out
to just cave in
the coward's way out
suicide is still a sin
God did not give mankind a spirit of fear
God did not give mankind a reason to check out of here
God won't give anyone more than they can possibly withstand
just turn to Him , trust in Him to help you understand
that life is a continuous journey on an unchartered course
just let The Holy Spirit be your life sustaining force
and don't take the coward's way out
