"A Testimony Worth Being Told"

"In active addiction,
isolated,
burdened from,
my guilt and shame,
I was quite lost in my head,
and on the outside,
I stayed the same.

The skeletons in my closet,
man they were an army,
and keeping them locked inside,
only self harmed me.
An undead army,
spears, swords,
and leather bound shields,
stood guard around my heart,
and kept it from The Light,
and what's real,
and that's why I never healed.

My cold, lonely heart,
walled in by large stones,
and outside of it,
they made of themselves,
a cage made of bone,
and I was all alone,
and for 15 straight years,
that was my home,
but when I had my stroke,
and nearly died,
that is how I truly survived,
because I reached my hand,
to The All Knowing Father,
and His son,
and as I prayed,
He made a light ray,
that resonated my soul,
and He is helping me,
get out of that hole,
I dug so well,
with drugs,
that are just,
a well devised charm spell,
because I was set on a course,
that led straight to hell.

The devil,
yea he knows me pretty well,
and yea I used to think,
getting high and drunk,
and reveling in my sin,
with fake friends was swell,
but truth is,
they leave you high and dry,
and if you've turned your back,
on God,
you feel quite alone when you die.

So take it from me,
the real way to be free,
is not by getting drunk,
and throwing out your sense,
and getting out of control,
it is by becoming,
a shining positive influence,
a lighthouse in the dark,
that's how to make use,
of the life freely given,
to you by God,
that's how you REALLY make a mark,
in this world,
and have a testimony worth being told,
but you have to be brave,
you have to be bold.

So plant those seeds,
in everyone you meet,
because they could be the ones,
in Heaven you greet!"
