Sea of Misery

I just about fell out of my chair when you mentioned the line in my song, and stated your interest in depression. That little piece of a song was from "Sea of Misery" which I wrote trying to describe depression in a time I was severely depressed. I wanted you to see the rest of the lyrics, and you will probably realize what it all means if you are familiar with this disorder.

"Sea of Misery"

I sail my ship on troubled waters

On a sea of misery

I lost my way back to safe harbor

I need Someone to rescue me

Save me Lord, I think I'm sinking

In this sea of misery

I am a thousand miles from nowhere

Send an angel down to me

I see the storm clouds gather round me

I feel the cold rain on my skin

And only darkness here surrounds me

I want to go back home again

My soul cries out for some direction

In circles I float aimlessly

And hope is my only salvation

I need Someone to rescue me

I could find Your Guiding Light

That's shining bright on Heaven's shore

And lead my ship into Your harbor

This ocean I will fear no more

I need Someone to comfort me

A Life Spared

Hello, Sister Jan...I am so glad that the Lord has used your writeup to save this lady! You have no idea how much this means to me! I could discern from her mails to you that the devil had wanted to kill her, but thank God for always having a way to save His own. ~ Pastor Benjamin A., The Cornerstone Brotherhood Ministry

Thank You!

I am Dorcas A., 18 years young woman in Ghana. I read your writing about "Suicide" and I was so blessed. As a young lady growing without knowing my parents, I felt tempted a couple of months ago to just end my life. I did not see anything in hold for me to live for. I don't know; I came across flyers from The Corner Stone Brotherhood Ministries and I followed up to see the website. I am a Christian alright, but I almost ended my life had it not been that I saw your writing first. I believe that I was led to read your writing, and I am glad that it has added a meaning to my life. Thank you for allowing God to use you to save me... ~ Dorcas A., Ghana
