I am a man addicted
I am a man afflicted
A grown child picking up the pieces of a past that's shaped me
My heart (my heart) redecorated
these walls adorned with fears, fixes, distractions
the light of Love has been filtered through paper
the light of God has been morphed through a child's confused eyes
this addiction this fear is not from You
from you
“Yours is the everlasting past”
the squall is strong and its waves roar like a beast
my shores are bruised and my vision is failing
there's Someone stronger than my guilt
there is Someone older than failure
more powerful than the strength of a misspent youth
I believe You can help me
“The nature of Your reign is holiness forever”*
