My drug story

Drugs, drugs, they were everywhere,

An escape for me when I couldn't bear,

The pressures and stresses of the day,

Desperately seeking to keep them at bay.

Blinded so I couldn't see what I was doing,

The disastrous path that I was pursuing,

Were they legal or not, it did not matter,

My self control, I would continually batter.

The times I was taking drugs to be cool,

I was being such a silly childish fool,

Trying so hard for the Worlds approval,

From Gods family it assured my removal!

And if you think that I'm a goody two shoes,

Who doesn't see or know the many hues,

Of a World that is not black and white,

But has many shades between wrong and right.

Weed, Coke, K and Ecstasy,

Are no strangers to the likes of me,

They poisoned my body and muddled my mind,

To the point that the truth was impossible to find.

I tell you the truth, drugs ruined my life,

Led to all kinds of problems and strife,

Until I found myself at my lowest valley,

Did I realize the terrible hold they had on me.

Ignoring the hope of our great God,

The word to which I once gave a nod,

But do I know the blessing bestowed?

When he offered to help lighten my load?

His yoke is easy, and His burden light,

Suddenly I see how it will help my fight,

I have no need to run, escape or hide,

Now that I have Jesus standing by my side!

So now I've come to the sudden realization,

That I needed Jesus' wondrous salvation,

And now my mind is clear, my body is clean,

Not to mention my newfound self-esteem!

To his great glory, I owe it all,

For He was there to cushion my fall,

And while it still hurts, and I have pain,

It is my faith that keeps me sane.
