(This Song is about Faith and Hope that is found in Jesus Christ alone. We all need dependence. It is written that the just shall live by Faith.) Life is blind; you can't see the future, blocked by the eclipse of your mind. Love is blind cause you don't see the truth, blocked the eclipse of your heart. Depression creeping, you can't see no hope, aches to the pit of your soul. Trust is lost, you can't read other's minds, so choose wisely in each way you go.... Put your faith in God, even though you can't see his face. You need dependence It is written, the just live by faith It is written, the just live by faith Those who esteem every other, finds God will meet all their needs. If indeed God is just and good, he will judge every person the way He said he would. Christ paid the price for those who accept him We're the same at the foot of the cross In the end we will realize he is omnipresent, and his death were for all who are lost Put your

We're all related, brothers and strangers The king and the beggar bleed the same We've all got a sickness, a terminal condition We medicate it but the pain won't go away See the eyes of a million faces Looking for it in a million places Only one can save us, Jesus You are the cure Everybody's searching for it Everybody's reaching out Trying to grab a hold of something real You are the cure Only you can satisfy us Fill up the void inside us Never been a heart you couldn't heal You are the cure You are the doctor, healer and father To the orphan without a home We fell into darkness, lost till you found us You are the remedy we're looking for You are the cure Everybody's searching for it Everybody's reaching out Trying to grab a hold of something real You are the cure Only you can satisfy us Fill up the void inside us Never been a heart you couldn't heal You are the cure

Before I came to Celebrate Recovery, I use to have chronic suicidal thoughts. Also I had multiple attempts at suicide. Back in February 2003 I nearly died when I overdosed on Celexa. My Psychiatrist diagnosed me with Bipolar disorder with an Axis Two diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder. I have had many Psychiatric hospitalizations. I was a frequent flier and just about all the emergency room workers at Athens Regional Medical Center knew me by name. I use to stockpile medication and used them to plan my next suicide attempt. I wanted to help people like me but I was not able to take care of myself. I was a leader of a support group called NAMI, and it was there I fell in love with a young woman named Annette. To make a long story short we had been in a six month long relationship that ended after a suicide attempt I made. I wanted to marry her and I considered her to be the love of my life. My toxic behavior ran her off.   When I got sick and tired of being sic

During those days people will seek death but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them. Revelation 9:6 NIV I could hear the voice of death inside my head. This demon wanted me to take my life. I could look into the mirror and I could see him staring from my eyes. The person looking back was not me.   I could hear him inside my head telling me I would be better off dead. I hated myself. I could not turn off that nagging voice. It told me, "No one will miss you. You're are a burden to others. The only way to end your pain is to kill yourself. You are better off dead." No matter how hard I tried I could not die.

You are immortal until God call you home. God is not finished with me yet." My problem was a spiritual problem. I didn’t know who I wa
