Redemption

For far too long I’ve been a slave to drugs
not to mention alcohol as well.
These mind-altering substances have
made my life a living hell.
I’ve endured disappointment and failure;
reality has been rough.
The Lord has blessed me with so much potential,
of wasting it I’ve had enough.
By His grace I am now in recovery
utter redemption is my goal.
To find a God-fearing woman and be successful
I desire with all my soul.
No more destruction,
it’s time to make my dreams come true.
I owe this to myself, especially
after all I’ve been through.
Alcohol and drugs are tools of Satan.
They are a well-disguised beast.
I praise the Lord for a new beginning
At TRP* 801 East.
