Rescue Me from Depressionby Lisa M. Lee-Hannan. |
| Lord, rescue me for I have been imprisoned I don't know where I am, but the name is Depression. Lord, I try to call you but he has got me bound. When I call your name, I don't hear a sound. Depression is a strong man with many friends. He brought confusion and destruction to give him a hand. My friends really can't see unless I give them a sign. For they all look at me and think that I'm fine. Depression has taken over my will. It has made my life seem all up hill. It has me crying in the middle of the night. I'm so confused I can't tell wrong from right. I sleep all my bright days away. All that was light is now shades of gray. When I scream it is silent instead of loud. And the sun that used to shine has hidden behind the clouds. The song I used to sing has no melody. And my heart is so bound I can't break free. I don't want to be bothered, I don't even answer the phone. Depression has got me feeling all-alone. My child, I'm like the Mafia for there is no one stronger than me. The reason I came was to set the captive free. You thought I couldn't see you because it was dark. My child, I'm not looking on the outside, and I can see your heart. And when you thought your prayers were going unheard. My ears have captured every word. For there is no prison I can't get in or out. I get strength when you believe, my child, do not doubt. Look in front of you, my child, I have opened the gate. I didn't come when you called, but I wasn't too late. Raise your hand now for I am bearing your pain. With these keys in my hand I have opened your chains. Walk out of here now, for Depression is coming back. For you don't have enough strength to stand another attack. Climb higher to a safer place. There you will be met by my mercy and grace. Use your time to get strength and closer to me. So then you can go back and set someone else free.
