Hold onto that thing
that you think that you must have
Be passionate about the grip
on the things that you will grab
Hold tightly to the wreckage
and the tricks of the mind
Don’t look for the ways out
or solutions you may find
Get comfortable in your madness
Stay there in your excuse
Be the one in the shelter
of self-pity and abuse
It’s okay
don’t go out of your way to change
That involves a different mindset
and patterns to rearrange
Comfort is found in the same old stuff
while holding your breath
It’s found in the mind that you coddle
while dreaming of death
So go ahead and follow
the worries of the day
forget about Jesus
and what He had to say
Don’t take my words seriously
I’m trying to get you to see
that most of what you believe
also goes on within me
It was up to me to choose
to take a different road
To go beyond the belief
of what my mind had told
I had to stop listening
and go another way
I had to find direction
and listen to what God would say
I had face my fears
and rely on faith alone
in the One who came before me
and knew this flesh and bone
He knew how it would suffer
as it walked through this fallen place
He knew how sin would torment
as I limited my space
He said, “GO
Get out and find a way
I’ll send others to help you”
and He sends them everyday
My mind is now healing
and He never leaves me there
within the little space where I coddled
the pain my mind and I would share
Each day within His mercy
I am experiencing His true grace
I never have to believe the lies
this mind and I will face
