This is a song by Third Day

Cry out to Jesus!!!

To everyone who's lost someone they love
Long before it was their time
You feel like the days you had were not enough
when you said goodbye

And to all of the people with burdens and pains
Keeping you back from your life
You believe that there's nothing and there is no one
Who can make it right

There is hope for the helpless
Rest for the weary
Love for the broken heart
There is grace and forgiveness
Mercy and healing
He'll meet you wherever you are
Cry out to Jesus, Cry out to Jesus

For the marriage that's struggling just to hang on
They lost all of their faith in love
They've done all they can to make it right again
Still it's not enough

****For the ones who can't break the addictions and chains
You try to give up but you come back again
Just remember that you're not alone in your shame
And your suffering *******

When your lonely
And it feels like the whole world is falling on you
You just reach out, you just cry out to Jesus
Cry to Jesus

Thank you LV for mentioning this song...I heard it on the radio last night and it brought tears to my eyes and I had to post the lyrics today...I hope someone can find some peace in the words
Blessings...

To the widow who suffers from being alone
Wiping the tears from her eyes
For the children around the world without a home
Say a prayer tonight

I messed that up at the end~

I prefer something from "Papa Roach", or some Lennon. Then I love to switch over to some Blues. That helps me with my recovery.

I also like Janis Joplin or Bette Middler.

Life by the Drop by Stevie Ray Vaughn

Here's another one - "Welcome to Wherever you are" by Bon Jovi. In it he sais: "When you want to give up and your heart's about to break, remember that you're perfect; God makes no mistakes..."

I love Stevie Ray Vaughn. Just like I love the harmonica work of Paul Butterfield.

I don't know what it is with these wonderful stars and death at an early age?

SRV,died because he was sober.he didnt want too stay and party,so he took the seat on the helicopter from someone that did want too stay and party,sucks,he was awesome.

I heard this song several months ago when I was drinking really heavily. I cried when I heard this song for the first time several months ago with a bottle sitting next to me. It wasnt long after that I made the decision to take a more active role in my life and how I was living it. It was inspirational for me and I hope you will find some in it as well.

The song is People Change by Montgomery Gentry

(It has a couple of verses before this but this is the part that gets me!)


She was born with her mothers habit
You could say, its in her blood
She hates that shes gotta have it
As she fills her glass up

Shed love to kill that bottle
Bu all she can think about
Is a , a better life, a second chance
And everyone shes letting down
She throws that bottle down

Heres to the strong, thanks to the brave
Dont give up hope, some people change
Against all odds, against the grain
Love finds a way, some people change

Thank God for those who make it
Let them be the light, let them be the light
Some people change.

I still really get into (Open the eyes to my heart lord) By micheal w smith. Just inspires me to continue to thank for his grace

Kenney Chesnea also sings "Some People Change" That's a great song! I also like "Drugs or Jesus" by Tim McGraw. It goes: "Everybody just wants to get high. Sit and watch a perfect world go by. We're all looking for love and meaning in our lives. We follow the roads that lead us - To drugs or Jesus..."

It's My Life - Bon Jovi
But for the Grace of God - Keith Urban

There are a few Billy Joel songs that inspire me. "Don't forget your second wind" is one.
And believe it or not, "Piano Man." Listening to it is so real, it's an excellent description of most bar crowds, those lost souls pretending to be somebody in the safety of a pub. My favorite line is," They're sharing a drink they call loneliness, but it's better than drinking alone."

Three Days Grace - Pain
A band member or the entire band ( Not sure ) Wrote that song about their addictions and recovery.

My favorite is by The Rascal Flatts - Stand
Lyrics are below. I find this song inspirational.

You feel like a candle
In a hurricane
Just like a picture
With a broken frame
Alone and helpless
Like you've lost your fight
But you'll be allright
You'll be allright

*chorus*
Cuz when push comes to shove
You taste what your made of
You might bend till you break
Cuz it's all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you've had enough
You get mad
You get strong
Wipe your hands
Shake it off
Then you stand
then you stand

Life's like a novel
With end ripped out
The edge of a canyon
With only one way down
Take what your given
Before it's gone
And start holdin on
Keep holdin on

*repeat chhorus*

Everytime you get up
And get back in the race
One more small piece of you
Starts to fall into place
Yeah

*repeat chorus*

Yeah then you stand
Yeah
Yeah baby
Then you stand
Yeah

What about "Wasted" by Carrie Underwood? Love that song.

I found one that I like.
