A Desperate Cry

In desperation I cry out,
I wonder what its all about,
The life I'm promised isn't here,
My hope it starts to disappear,
The lie that's fed, it rots my mind,
In deep despair, I feel so blind,
If only I could look and see,
The wondrous things You've promised me,
My heart so full of pain and woe,
The blackest thoughts begin to grow,
Voices ring out inside my head,
And tell me I'd be better dead,
I crave with lust, my teeth they grind,
My thoughts exploding in my mind,
And then a flash, a light breaks through,
A moments peace to think of You,
A loving hand to gently guide,
Me away, from suicide,
You whisper deep into my heart,
Your peace comes in and death departs,
Renewing hope, restoring life,
Which melts away my deepest strife,
Anxiety, and fear they go,
As more and more Your love I know,
Adopted, accepted as Your son,
A better life now has begun,
You know the perfect way for me,
To live in deep tranquillity,
Yes now, at Your table spread,
I take new life, and leave as dead,
To all my former sins and woes,
Receiving victory over all the foes,
The chains so binding now at last,
Have all come off, buried in the past,
No longer suffer all that pain,
I know the truth, I'm born again.

This was written for a sister who suffered just like the opening part of these verses, and came out from a mental hospital, and wrestled with God for her healing and found it. Kicking Satan's lies into touch forever.
