I am so far down

I believe I have found the bottom

And instead of crawling up

I’m digging the hole deeper

I find myself crying for peace

But I do nothing to find it

To reach out to it

The only peace I’ll ever know

Is through my Lord, Jesus Christ

He takes my debt

Throws it in the deepest ocean

And holds me close to his heart

I may be screwing everything up

But, Lord, I want to lift your name high

I want everyone to know

What you have done for me

I want to scream it from the highest mountain top

Peace will only be found through my Lord, Jesus Christ

Help me crawl to the top

Where I will find peace and love

Even for myself

I want you to love me,

Be proud of me for my accomplishments

You are the light of my world

I believe you have opened my eyes

So that I can truly see

For the first time I find happiness

Content where I am

Because I know you’re lifting me up

When I only saw one set of footprints

You were carrying me

That poem for you

Remains close to my heart

As you do

I bow down in Your glory and majesty

You have taken my sins

Thrown them in the deepest ocean

Forgotten them when I come to you

For forgiveness and strength to make through

One more day

One more minute

You’re my God

And no one can take that away from me

Strip me of my pride,

Take my awful thoughts

Take my anger and hostility

Take my selfishness

My hurt and sorrow

And as you throw them in the deepest depth

Of the ocean…

I come to love myself

And the world around me

I may not love the sins of this world

But I look at a flower,

A baby or a single mother

Pain or happiness

Clouds with rain

It’s all part of the beauty,

The paradise

You have provided

I may be cast aside for my beliefs,

I may be persecuted

But as long as I have you by my side

I don’t give a damn

I am wrapped in the joy of my Lord

I’ll trade it all

To live in Your glory

Amen! I’ll cry

As this sickness leaves my body

And is cast in the deepest darkest parts

Of the ocean

Praise God! Praise Him!

He has taken this from me

And forgiven my pain and angst

My strength

My happiness

My sadness and regret

It all stems from my savior, Jesus Christ

He gives life to everything around us

Praise Him! Scream it from the highest mountain

As he casts my sins and demons out

To the deepest darkest depths of the ocean

Praise Him!

I will no longer sit and suffer

For my God is here to save me from my sins

He died on the cross for me

And you

And him and her

Everyone must know the glory

Of my Lord

Who casts out my sickness

Into the deepest, darkest depths

Of the ocean
