Let Go

Let go and let God hold your hand.

Walls of darkness encompasses me about

Blackness was seen everywhere

Life had brought me to this place of hopelessness

A confused state of mind took me to the pit of the abyss

With thick dark clouds hanging over my head like death

Deep inside my soul death was all I felt

The peace once found in alcohol knew I no more

The bottle no longer provides me with such comfort

And here the hands of darkness suck me in

While the spirit within grew weak and weary

In this abyss I felt loss and alone

There reaching out the final fate of destruction

Held me in despair and brought me to tears

With eyes weary and bruised through the corners

I glanced up at someone reaching down

When I felt a soft gentle touch on my shoulders

With strength gone, unable to stand he took my hands

With such power in his arms I felt secure and held on tight

In that very moment strength returned to this feeble frame

Which clutch tightly to those mighty strong hands?

As His gentle voice whispers softly through my darkness

My child I will guide and care for you just let me hold your hands. Yes my friend let go and let God hold you.
