A poem about recovery and spirituality
Tell me please, I beg of you, what I can do to somehow help you out
I’ve been through this, I know how to quit, why is it you still doubt?

That my motive is pure, this isn’t about me, and it never was
Like you, I have struggled through life, and I know it is because

We were made with a special room in our heart, a place for God to live
To keep Him inside us, so He could guide us, but praise we did not give

God gave us all free will, He won’t live where He is not wanted
For this very reason is why our lives have become so haunted

We are stubborn and headstrong, sometimes we think we know all
This independence from Him is the very reason that we always fall

We try and fill that empty room, find something that will fit
Drugs, Sex, Eating, Gambling, but they only work for a bit

So we begin to mix them up, inventing all kinds of dangerous combinations
This emptiness, confusion, and despair we feel creating the devils invitation

I have got some really great news, there is a way out of this mess
Just ask God back in your heart and your life He will begin to bless

In Gods eyes, above you, more important than you… there are none
He will always leave the ninety-nine, to go and save… the one
