fear

Contributed by Lemmonhead on Friday, 29th April 2005 @ 03:35:09 PM in AEST
Topic: drugabuse

I try to give my life to God
But dreaded fear keeps me away.
Fear so deep inside, controlling
Actions speak, not what I say.

Mind sapping hope and will to grow,
Stealing yet another day.
Chances mark the path to heaven
Do I climb? No, here I stay.

I live alone, afraid to hurt.
Is this my fate until I gray?
The pain she caused fresh writ in blood
Evermore to feel that way?

Drugs, work, drink, sport, sex.
Numbness rules. Keep thought away.
No choice is choice. Too dead inside
To direct my tragic play.

I want a love to make my own.
Lonely man, I kneel to pray.
God give me strength to risk again,
Fulfill your plan, if I may.

I'll take the pain if that's your wish.
No more pushing care away.
My soul has hope, my mind is weak
I don't want to stay this way.

But then resigned that I should take
Evil's glee and stay this way.
But that would mean that fear has won.
Give me faith to choose God's way.

Open my heart that I can love.
Your guiding light shows the way
To change my prayer, accept the past.
God will heal, keep fear at bay.
