You have no idea the relief it is
When depression goes away
Especially when I look back to remember
Just how long it stayed.
Years and years of medicines
Though none really did the trick.
I zoned out like a zombie,
Or else they made me sick.
I would cry myself to sleep at night
and pray for death each day.
I even thought to end it all
But God had a better way.
I stepped out of my comfort zone
In obedience to Him;
And immediately the depression left,
I was no longer overwhelmed.
It weighs you down so heavy
That you’re buried in the pain.
You hurt from all the aching
Til you think you’re insane.
So, when those imps of satan leave you
It’s amazing how you feel;
When God lift’s that crushing burden
You know at once it’s real.
No more thoughts of dying.
I don’t cry myself to sleep
I joy in all the promises
I know that He will keep.
And even though there’s hardships
My spirit is at rest;
With God, I am an over comer
And through Him I am blessed.
