Addicted

I thought I was in control

A master of my own fate

But little did I know

I had already taken the bait.

Every day I searched for something more

A high that could fulfill my soul

But all I found was emptiness

And a deep, dark, empty hole

I turned to drugs and alcohol

Thinking they could ease my pain

But they only left me broken

And longing to be whole again

But then I found the One True Drug

The only rehab I will need

No side effects, no complications

Just a feeling of pure ecstasy

At first I was hesitant

Like a cautious drug user

I pretended to look for dosages

But all I found was love and nurture

I realized I had been addicted

To all the wrong things in life

But now I overdose on His grace

And I am no longer in strife

With every hit of His goodness

I'm alive, I'm awake, I'm free

No other high could compare

To the love and mercy He gives me

So I proudly wear the title

Of a drug addict, a woman with the Word

For I have found the ultimate fix

And my soul has been forever cured

No more searching for empty highs

No more numbing of the pain

For in His arms I have found

A love that will always sustain

So let the drug dealers say what they want

For they have never tasted this drug

For the only rehab I will ever need

Is the One True Drug - the Savior, the Lord above.
