Then I reached for a straw but grabbed a ship.
With each careful step I didn't have to trip.
Paranoid delusions and psychotic episodes slipped.
My suicidal tendencies I entered the fellowship.
Those first days when I didn't know who to trust.
Suggested steps then came to be a damn well must.
For everything that I had tried before failed me.
That wonderful peace and that awesome serenity.
Being able to hold my head up with a new pride.
That wondrous feeling of transformation inside.
Coming to believe that there was help even for me.
That grateful moment of clarity and sweet serenity.
Knowing I wasn't alone and there were others like me.
Knowing that you were real and had a plan, Sovereignty.
Believing that you hadn't given up on me like I had you.
Accepting me back into the fold and knowing what to do.
Wiping my tear-stained eyes with a hug so endearing.
Taking away the guilt and all that I had been fearing.
Letting me know you in a way I hadn't ever before.
Then we landed crossing over to that beautiful shore.
