Addiction
In the desert
I drank from the sand
I thirsted
And chose the poison
I traded bread
For dust
I raised altars
Within myself
I kissed idols
Calling it freedom
But every step
Was a chain
Who will break
What I have fed?
Who will silence
The voice that devours me?
Set me free!
Before I disappear!
Break the chains!
Bring me back to the light!
I was not born
To live on my knees
Before sin!
Like Samson
I gave away my strength
Like Esau
I sold my destiny
Like Israel
I embraced my idols
And became
A slave to what I created
I opened the door!
I called the serpent!
Now
Who will deliver me
From myself?
Your voice
Calls the dead
Your light
Breaks the night
If grace still exists
Call my name
Break!
Break the chains!
Burn what binds me!
Make my heart live!
I will no longer be
A slave to sin!
Christ is my King!
