DEALING WITH ADDICTION |
For twenty-five years I had sworn that I'd quit.
I just couldn't do it, I'm sad to admit.
Nothing I tried ever came to prevail.
Time after time I would fail and I'd fail.
The last time was brutal. I'd lost any hope.
I was prepared to succumb to my dope.
I felt desperation, to find something sure.
To end this disease, that they say has no cure.
The twelve steps made all of the diff'rence to me.
Step two and step seven. But mostly step three.
Step two made me realize, I had to believe,
that God could, and would, make the diff'rence for Steve.
Step three is where I had surrendered my will.
I gave it to God; he has hold of it still.
A miracle's how that I best can explain it.
I have my life back. God has helped me regain it.
The more that I let him, the more that he does.
The drugs and the drinks don't compare to God's buzz.
His high just gets better, and better each day.
The best part: it's free. I don't have to pay.
Instead of my life being sucked down the drain,
Instead of me clouding and killing my brain,
Instead of unstableness, problems, frustration,
Instead of succumbing to evil temptation,
God took control and my cravings were banished.
God gave me guidance. Unstableness vanished.
God took my problems and saw them resolved.
Everything changed once that God was involved.
For once in my life I can honestly say:
I know where I'm going. God showed me the way.
I fin'ly know peace. I have joy in my heart.
I'm clean and I'm sober - I have a good start.
God was the diff'rence in making me new.
What God's done for me, he will do it for you.
Before you continue your moral regressing,
Give God your life - he will fill it with blessing.
