Trust me, I've been there, I've looked, I've searched and I know now, that there are no answers to be found in the bottom of a bottle or on the edge of a blade! Fighting Hard, Recovering, Rebuilding, REBORN. Moving on from addiction to a new life.
Fear and anguish May swim through our bones Saturating the heart Shaking the soul But in our faith We have the Spirit within us Not of fear But of strength and love So seek the Spirit Not hold to the fear And let the dark nights Become brighter days
In times long before My resolve would count for nothing To dance with the poison To concede unto it’s pull It led me to the darkness Where I was lost with no way out All doors seemed to close And the dance came to a halt Then the light came flooding in A moment to seek new life Drawn out to another light He separated me from my deceiver Now as time goes on I fear it not My control reigns supreme Never to let it take me again With Him I have the power to overcome Now it is I live again Now it is I find it within to love Only through His enduring grace His mercy and His love
I called out for direction I cried out for Your strength The path that stood before me Became distorted Rugged and overgrown My heart became so weary My strength was worn away So I cried out for the spirit To rebuild a timid soul To place strength within a fading heart Then Your spirit fell upon me I stand to walk again This fire ignited within my heart My soul it lives again
It’s one of those night I fear the most, tests to my sobriety, a wedding reception, I just needed a reminder, some inspiration, after all one more week to the two year mark!
FIND YOUR WAY by THE AFTERS Don’t believe, the bridge from you to me could somehow ever be washed away. Don’t give in. Don’t start listening to voices whispering things I’d never say.
There is nothing you could do to make me turn my back on you.
You’re never to lost to know where the road is. It could be dark, you could be hopeless but I’ll wait ‘til you find your way. You’re never to far to be forgotten. Here in my heart, I hear you calling. I’ll wait ‘til you find your way back home.
The hardest part is to just sit waiting. My heart breaking for you. There’s an empty space where I save your place knowing that someday I’ll look at you.
You’re never to lost to know where the road is. It could be dark, you could be hopeless but I’ll wait ‘til you find your way. You’re never to far to be forgotten. Here in my heart, I hear you calling. I’ll wait ‘til you find your way back home.
With my heart still hoping and my arms wide open, I’ll never give up this fight. I know we’ll walk like we used to, and we’ll talk like we used to. It’s just a matter of time.
There is nothing you could do to make me turn my back on you.
You’re never to lost to know where the road is. It could be dark, you could be hopeless but I’ll wait ‘til you find your way. You’re never to far to be forgotten. Here in my heart, I hear you calling.
I’ll wait for as long as it takes I’ll wait ‘til you find your way back home.
