I was puffed up
With arrogance and pride
Also self-righteousness
I was rather snide
I had a strong intellect
And much education
But I was backslidden
And faced tribulation
God was merciful
He broke me down completely
I lost my once cherished mind
I was the prodigal son certainly
Delusions and hallucinations
Became the norm
But Christ saved me
From that rough mental storm
Slowly I regained
My sanity
In Christ
I was totally free
Now I have joy
And peace that will last
I stay anchored
In His Word steadfast
I speak to God
In prayer
I tell Him
My every care
I still deal
With illness of the mind
But I have a Redeemer
The best that one could find
In my weakess
Christ is strong
In Him I’m more than a conqueror
This is my cherished song
