I Thank God for Psychiatry

My mind
Is out of whack
My sanity
I need back

I have many
An insane thought
Mental illness
I’ve always fought

I’m often suffering
In my troubled mind
It’s peace and calmness
I need to find

I struggle mentally
Both day and night
I need a release
From this mental blight

When my thoughts
Are racing
What can I do
Except for indoor pacing

I hear angels and demons
Inside my head
Sometimes I’m
Full of dread

I have major depression
Every single day
I’m fatigued and lethargic
All I can do is pray

Sometimes I’m psychotic
It is no fun at all
But thanks to God
For His effectual call

I’ll do my best to live
With a broken mind
In Christ alone
Sabbath rest and peace I find
