To Gail and Tammy - Jail Ministry

Depression takes hold quickly

Like a sudden summer rain

I sit alone in the darkness

Trying to cope with the pain

The pain of heartache

Mine alone to bear

The darkness brings nightmares

That I am to afraid to share

I shed tears for the one

That lost her childhood long ago

She will take her secret to the grave

For only a few will ever know

Some who know the secret

Will never look at her the same

They will talk among each other

Saying she was the blame

Others will feel her pain

For they lived it as well

But they also grew up

Being to afraid to tell

But if God guides you to those

That do not judge the same way

Then you have been drawn to those

That will hold you hard and pray

Though those few selected by God

You can learn to release your pain

They will hold you up in prayer

And show you there is good to gain

You believed in me

When all others turned away

You told me that good would come

If I take the time to pray

Thank you for all your prayers

For all the time spent on your knees

Crying out for the Father

To make my heart believe

Thank you for guiding me

Upon the path that is right

For praying that I be set free

From the torment of the night

Speak life into all situations

You would always say

Don’t bring forth the negative

Count your blessings every day

You never led me in the wrong direction

Or gave me bad advice

You spoke words of encouragement

And are a true blessing in my life

Deep down I still thought

You were to good to be true

But now I try to accept

You are God’s way of letting

Me start anew

But this I can say

If I never did before

I love you with all my heart

No way I could love more

I pray that you’ll forgive

If I brought any pain your way

And I will get a chance to please you

If God allows me to see another day.
