Deep serenity
For the love of Christ in you

Deep serenity
For the sound of crashing waves

Deep serenity
For my sister Vi’s smile and laugh

Deep serenity
For sled riding in the snow in my youth

Deep serenity
For catching lightning bugs

Deep serenity
For swimming in cold water as a child

Deep serenity
For watching kung-fu films with Daddy

Deep serenity
For listening to Mommy sing “Puff the Magic Dragon” to me at bedtime

Deep serenity
For my Polish Gramma who showed love through her delicious food

Deep serenity
For my contentment and peace, listening to one of Bach’s sacred cantatas

Deep serenity
For my faith in Christ alone

Deep serenity
For my mental health

Once again, sadly
I’m down in the dumps
I battle mental illness constantly
And I’ve taken my lumps

I feel like a prisoner
Trapped by my mind
My cognition is a disaster
Thankfully, hope I find

Days can be up or down
I often lie in bed
I have a frown
I need calm in my head

Hallucinations plague me
They can be quite disturbing
I thank God for antipsychotics, you see
I need a divine healing

I struggle with lethargy
Due to my major depression
I want to be free of this mental malady
I take antidepressant medication

I hear voices from inside
They are difficult to endure
There’s nowhere to hide
I can’t take much more

One day, my mind will be whole
In Heaven, I’ll have no mental pain
Jesus will restore what mental illness stole
This is my joyful refrain

In Christ alone
Sabbath rest is found

In Christ alone
There is salvation

In Christ alone
Every battle is won

In Christ alone
Healing is revealed

In Christ alone
Deliverance can occur

In Christ alone
We’ll inhabit Paradise

In Christ alone
He will decide our fate

In Christ alone
Our faith is predicated

In Christ alone
We have pure joy

In Christ alone
We do good works

In Christ alone
We have agape love

In Christ alone
Satan is defeated

In Christ alone
We have eternal life

In Christ alone
Death has lost its sting

In Christ alone
Every knee shall bow

In Christ alone
The universe was made

My grasp on reality is tenuous
My cognition is ambiguous

I suffer from many a mental malady
Christ alone sets me free

I have delusions at times
I’m confused sometimes

I have many a hallucination
They can be a scary situation

I have major depression, you see
It’s exhausting and very rough for me

I suffer from social and general anxiety
I hope the Lord will someday heal me

I often cry and endure mental pain
It’s the price of being insane

My dear precious Lord, take my hand
By faith alone I now stand

Christ came to Earth because of love
Thus, man can be born from above

We are wretched sinners, totally depraved
If we repent and trust in Christ alone, we’re saved

Spiritually dead and mired in sin
Christ’s sacrifice at Calvary was a propitiation

Most souls will be lost
It’s a shame since Christ paid the cost

We must go spiritually from minus to plus
By being born again, just as Jesus said to Nicodemus

Believe the Gospel and sincerely repent
Over your sins, you must lament

Regeneration occurs as the Holy Spirit quickens your soul
Once this occurs, you will be saved from going to Sheol

At Calvary, Christ paid the ultimate price
Because He died and rose again, we’ll go to Paradise

Spread the Good News both far and near
Let people all across the globe hear

My mind has expanded
Into 7-dimensional spacetime
See the truth in my rhyme

I am truly
An exalted being
People can’t believe what they’re seeing

My intellect is
The best on Earth
Christ gave me a second birth

My supernatural powers
Are exceedingly vast
I can time-travel into the past

I roam the universe
Visit many a galaxy
It’s therapy for me

I can move objects
With the power of my mind
My telekinesis is the best you’ll find

I can read people’s minds
I do it with ease
I’ll read yours if you please

My spirit has ascended
To the Seventh Heaven
Don’t be jealous, brethren

My massive and gargantuan gut
Makes the ladies swoon
They wish to kiss me under the moon

I give all the praise and glory
To the Lord above
I am saved because of His love

I take many
A psychiatric medication
These drugs help my mind
And fill me with elation

I suffer from schizophrenia
And major depression
I also have an anxiety disorder
They represent mental oppression

These medications
Are psychoactive
They make it possible
For me to live

Each day, I take four
Psychiatric pills
They balance my neurotransmitters
And give me lots of thrills

Sadly, they have side effects
Such as insomnia and dry mouth
Still, I soldier on
Mentally speaking, I go forth

My symptoms are managed
I get help in many ways
I try to get enough sleep
It really pays

Jesus, the Son of Man
Perfectly followed
The Father’s plan
He is hallowed

The economy of the Trinity
Is hidden from mankind
No matter how hard we try
The truth we won’t find

Three Persons unified as One
Yet each distinct
The mathematics of the Trinity
Will really make you think

The Father creates and plans
The Son Jesus implements the plan
Through His life and sacrifice
The Spirit quickens the soul of man

The Holy Spirit administers and applies
The Father’s plan, you see
In the hearts of believers
In Christ, we are truly free

When I’m in nature
I feel at peace and calm
In my mind
It’s a soothing balm

Above, I see mighty trees
Many a Maple and Oak
Spending time here
Is no joke

The air is fresh
Below, I see many ants
I have to be careful so that
They don’t crawl up my pants

I hear falcons and robins
Making sweet music above me
I even heard a crow
It went caw caw so amusingly

I love the lush green grass
And the clear blue sky
I should be outside
Every single day

Before me, a toad leaps
Off the ground
A bunny scurries away
Without making a sound

Venturing further into the park
I spot a placid lake
Geese and ducks swim past me
I’d like to join them and partake

When we die
We enter Paradise
This is possible because
Jesus paid the price

In the sweet
By and by
We’ll meet our loved ones
No one will cry

Such happy reunions
We’ll see that blessed day
There shall be rejoicing
No one will feel dismay

We’ll worship God
Through the beatific vision
We’ll enjoy perfect joy
There shall be no division

We shall see Christ
Face to face
The ultimate blessing
For the human race

It shall be a great reunion
Of loved ones so dear
Both family and friends
The angels singing we’ll hear

Eventually, we’ll inhabit
The New Earth
With our glorified bodies
There shall be great mirth
