Victory

I have fought this fight
I have been battling far to long
I have seen all I know and love fade away
Friends turned their backs on me
Family pushed me away
An outcast in my own home
A stranger to all those I once loved
I have faced many demons
I have seen many tragedies trials and hurts
I have faced addiction
I struggled through alcoholism
I have been used and abused by people I once trusted
People I trusted with my life
Disappointment and failure a daily reality
Until the day it all changed
Until the day that voice rang clear
 "I carried you through the each and every struggle
You have given your life to me, All of your life
I will gladly take every struggle trial and fight
 You have been set free!
Don't you see?
You were never alone!
This you have heard before
I have told you before
I bear your burdens
They are mine not yours
You won those battles not by your power but by mine
Each time you lifted your voice
Each prayer prayed, every single one
Each time you looked for my hand I was there
When you stumbled and fell
When you were weak and unsure
When you turned away
When you were unlovable
I was there
You will struggle from time to time
It is a part of this life
But you are never alone
You will never be alone
I am with you and you are mine"
