With This Addiction, I Thee Wed

It's not something you're proud of,

In fact it brings you shame

You haven't told anybody,

Can't even say its name..

You're running with your head down,

Hoping no one will see

The deep despair, you're sinking down.

You see no way of breaking free.

Those who love you are blind to it

It's not something they'd expect

But whether they know it or not

You're held captive by it.

You have no one to tell

You have so many regrets...

But it's buried so deep,

It's a part of you

If you tell anyone now,

They'll see right through you

They'll see how black it's made your soul..

And if you rip it out now, flesh comes with it too.

There will be a girl

Some day in the future,

A girl to whom you want to give everything

Money can buy many things,

But it cannot buy back your innocence

It cannot erase what you've seen with your eyes

It cannot buy back all of you

There will be a wedding

Some day in the future

Where you will give yourself to her

How much of you can you give?

How much of you is left?

Could you look into her eyes and say

"With this addiction, I thee wed"?

If this is you, take heart!

There is mercy free

Blood to wash away all the stains

And a loving Hand to help scars heal.

There is a way out

But you cannot stand

And fight alone

Do your fighting first in prayer

You need only come

“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. “Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. “For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30

 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. 1 Corinthians 10:13

“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:8-9

1 Peter 1:3-11
