Not of This Earth

My life was falling apart
Feelings of lonliness, desertion, no worth
I looked everywhere for an answer
It was no place on this earth

So, I chopped out a few lines
To feel better, more secure I thought
But it was only temporary
A few hours of fun was what I bought

So, just a few hours of pleasure
Turned into a lifestyle of pain
The more high I got
The more addicted I became

With my body speeding so fast
I could not eat nor sleep
So, I found yet another friend
It's name was green weed

After years of darkness
My fast lane was slowing down
I could no longer get happy
My heart wore one big frown

A couple of visits to the E.R
Then I could plainly see
I was in serious bondage
And the Lord wanted me free

So, one sunny, Sunday morning
I had not a thing to do
I put on my best dress
And went searching for truth

I walked into this little building
An atmosphere I had missed for too long
A place filled with joy
Filled with worship, praise, and song

I heard a bold voice
"Choose you this day whom you will serve"
I had found my answer
It was not of this earth.
