 Wow!!! These lyrics are so powerful! 

There is such an advantage of believing God's Word, in that we don't have to learn by hard experience the destructive results of addictions.  If we don't call out in repentance and for the Lord's help, these addictions can kill you. It can cut your life short.  The enemy is a liar and he wants to cut your life short, John 10:10.

 Are you tired and torn? Are you at the point where you can't take it anymore?  Do you go to substances to make you feel better? All God wants is for us to seek Him. Return to Him. You will find all that you need to fill that empty spot. Jeremiah 3: 21-22 ..." Return, faithless people, I will cure you of backsliding."  Our world glorifies the thrill of partying, wealth, competition, sexual pleasure, and ignores the sin that is so often associated with these thrills.  Such a deception. Most people can't see this until they are destroyed by it.

Jeremiah 4: 1-3  "If you will return, O Israel, return to me.... Break up your unplowed ground and do not sow among thorns. Circumcise yourselves to the Lord circumcise your hearts,"...  Whatever addiction we hold onto. Whatever idle it is. That deception will keep our hearts hardened. It's a choice to stay here.  Or seek Jesus through the written Word to break those chains. His Word is alive. IT'S LIFE! Then the hardened heart becomes receptive to the truth,  breaking up the unplowed ground. Change begins here.

 So if you're weary, if you're worn. If you can't take it anymore. Then pick up the Bible. It can save you from destroying your life here. But most importantly, you will spend all eternity when this life is over with our Lord and Savior and all our loved ones who have put their Faith in Jesus Christ forever and ever.

  I know the truth of what addictions can do. I lost the love of my life, my husband way too early.  But the peace I have is knowing that I will see him one day. He put his Faith in Jesus Christ.

 I pray this sets someone free before its too late.  I know people say when my times up it's up. But we can also help that time to come sooner by making horrible choices. Don't kid yourself. These kind of addictions will wear your health out at an early age. Alcohol, pills, whatever substance you turn to for comfort there is one who is always waiting with open arms. Turn to Jesus Christ.
