DEALING WITH ADDICTION |
My spiritual roots are both shallow and scattered,
and sometimes not easy to find.
Likewise my life has been torn and been tattered.
The same with my soul and my mind.
Something's been missing: a pertinent factor.
Something that's caused me to plod.
All of my life I have been a poor actor,
playing the role of my God.
I know why I've all of these problems I'm facing.
I know, now, why I've been so ill:
It's all these material things I been chasing.
It's doing my own selfish will.
Calling my own shots, pulls me down lower.
I just can't stand up to the odds.
My will has to rate just a little bit lower.
Instead I must start doing God's.
For He knows what's best for me. He will provide for me.
He is what makes my world rhyme.
Good things will come to me. He will decide for me.
Everything in its own time.
A much greater power. A newfound discov'ry.
His will's what I must achieve.
I'm now at step two in my lifelong recov'ry.
In God, I sincerely believe.
