Troubled Times
Through troubled times I fight for life
With ups and downs I look for hope
The pain that comes and piles on strife
I go so low its hard to cope
The insanity's fresh its black as coal
The weight it crushes my chest in two
Suggestions fresh in my ear are told
A better way I hear from you
You tell me life is here to live
So in this addiction I wont die
A golden gem is free to give
As hope will come if I will only try.
There are these steps I must work thru
To reach the change within my mind
A channel of thoughts to be renewed
My eyes can see that once where blind
The grace I receive, a gift so free
Within my grasp its plain to see
Insane thoughts from inside will flee
The love from God, a channel Ill be
Through troubled times I stay on path
The gate so small, the way so straight
My selfishness and self-centered wrath
Ill not allow to doom my fate.
The only way is to find the hope
A power, a strength that is more than I
A saving grace, Ill cling to the rope
Ill spread my wings, Ill learn to fly
Gods love will save my wretched soul
He'll take me off this shear cold peak
With each punch Ill tuck and roll
Until I find the peace I seek.
