Bridgehead Church:
A Collective Poem
I would like to say thank you to you God
For all you have done in my life
You have always been there
And shown me your love
Whether times were good or were bad.
You are good, You are great
You have helped me be strong
In the work I am doing here
So all I can say, God, is thank you
For all you have done in my life
You have given me strength, God
To overcome burdens
Burdens of people and drugs
And the hard work of coping
And still keeping going
Is better with you by my side
In my deepest weakness
You give me your strength
And you put me on a rock
When I call out to you
You don’t leave me alone
But in splendour and power you come
Your rock, strong and steadfast
Your power gives me power
And I want to say thank you
For all that you do.
This new year has started OK, God
And you are doing good things
I have a new flat and not just that
There are other changes too
New plans for my treatment programme
To help me get free of the drugs
Reducing prescriptions on methadone
And benzo-diazepam too
This isn’t easy to do, God
And I know that you are good
But I want to ask you to help me
To really make it with you
And I want to say thank you
To you God
For all you have done in my life
You have always been there
And shown me your love
And I’m learning to trust in you.
