God is Always Here {F}
My body broken,
My tears all dried up,
All my cuts and bruises still raw,
Not enough drugs or alcohol out there,
No one wants me anyways,
looking down the stem of my crack pipe,
This is where I am going to die,
With no one to claim my soul,
Who would care anyways?
I'm just another crack addict living on the streets,
Just another number, another cold body laying in a tent,
I reach for another cigarette as I lay alone in the dark,
My body shivers from withdrawls from cocaine,
No one would hear my suffering cries anyways,
Then one night, my body gets tired of running,
My soul aches and cries to be saved from Hell,
I stare at what drugs I have left,
I can't chase this dragon anymore,
God, with all my heart, will you help me?
The words form on my lips as I feel Him there,
I only had to come to Him and ask,
If I had only known that it was just that easy,
That was three years ago my journey started,
With every wall I stumbled over,
With every hole God helped me out of,
And with every time I fell,
He was there picking me up and dusting me off,
He was helping me back on my feet every time,
I just never saw it or heard Him speaking to me,
When I always looked back I only saw my footprints in the sand,
I never thought that there was someone that would die for me,
Someone that would wash all my sins away,
But He was there,
I sit at the back of the church trying not to be seen,
A hand lightly lands on my shoulder,
I look up to the softest smile I've ever known,
The reverand knows me and says it will be ok,
She is patient and gently watches me grow from a distance,
Time and again I fumble and stumble and fall,
She reminds me that God is there to pick me up,
Week after week, I listen to her words teaching me the way,
Today, I sit near the front, embraced by friends from everywhere,
As I enter the church they all welcome me with a warm hug,
"God is here", they proclaim, and I know it to be true,
I read the word of God and I am now filled with His shining light,
I live every day walking the path He intended me to walk,
I haven't touched a drug in over three years,
Haven't had no alcohol in twice as long,
All my addiction are falling away from me piece by piece,
He is there always walking with me to comfort me,
He is there always showing me which way I should go,
His grace and understanding has showed me the way,
For His sacrafice I lay my life at His feet,
From drug addict to believer of God, I am blessed,
Oh Lord, Gracious Father of Heaven above,
May one day I be able to stand at your side,
And may I walk fearless as you give me eternal life.
