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.
As I drift back Back towards the shadows That throw their cloak Around my heart I’m calling out For a saviour As every tear falls My cries ring out Ever louder Ever desperate For the Once to come again And break away these chains
I remember When the chains of my addiction Laid heavier than my heart Wearing me down I could not stand Crying for the end As the journey faded
And I remember When I let You in You took the chains Lifted them from my soul They shattered and turned to dust Nothing was too hard for You My Lord, my God who set me free Now I walk to this journey’s end With You at my side Head held high as we go Forever thankful For the day You came
I see them in the corner Coiled up Motionless The chains from which You freed me Still silent Yet it begins to stir
Why must I look How does it hold my gaze The shining links Of the chains that once held me captive Chains of my own making Like the snake they begin to rise
Once they choked the life from me Yet with my silent tears You heard my cries You came to set me free Breaking the chains To bring me life
But now the beast begins to move The links are restless A serpent rises With fork tongue telling lies Of these chains are who I am They remain of who I was
Once You broke the chains That held me down Now help me Lord, cast them to the sands To turn to dust and be lost in time So I may walk freely once again Along the path that You’ve made straight
There are times like this evening, where I have to delve into the details of my past addicted life, that makes me evermore thankful for verses like this one, because I am so thankful that He heard my cries and broke those chains that bound me in my darkness.
