The First Day
Flash of consciousness
Slide from dream to wake
I search for the knowledge
of Your presence
Today is the First Day
of my new life --
I stumble through the day
Hazards all around
Temptations in every sight,
every sound, every word
I look away and sigh
Today is the First Day
that I turn and walk away --
"Lord, help me"
The words tremble on my lips
Moment to moment I seek that safety
I cannot travel alone
or I will surely die
by my own hand.
Today is the First Day
that I don't want to die --
The day finally over
I am weary and sore
My emotions are raw
from the fight to stay clean.
I turn to You again
and pray my thanks
as I close my eyes
and slide into dreams.
Tomorrow is the First Day --
and You will be there for me.
