250410 Quit Digging

 Quit Digging

Digging a hole without a doubt 

Stop buying things can live without 

Accumulate mountain of debt

Why haven't you quit digging yet?

Keep traveling down the wrong road

In spite of warnings you've been told

You know it, but don't turn around 

So, awful path keep going down

You're in a bad relationship 

You try to make the best of it

Since you've invested for so long

You stick around, though know it's wrong

You've gotten in over your head

Can't fulfill promises you've said

Your effort goes to covering tracks

So, no one sees the skills you lack

Bad choices - you have made a bunch

Their consequences eat your lunch

Though future outlook seems 

depressin'

You seldom seem to learn your lesson

In all of these scenarios 

Bad choices, where your money goes

Not what you want, but still go back

There must be something that you lack

You know you're in a darkened pit

Yet, keep digging in spite of it

Just stop and put the shovel down

Then, take the time to look around 

When you quit digging and take stock

You'll find you dug straight to bedrock

A firm foundation underneath 

To stand on for grace and relief

Though darkened pit has seemed your plight 

By looking up, you see the light

While digging, you were looking down

So, hadn't noticed God around 

There, with each shovelful you take

With every bad choice and mistake

The pit is not where you belong

So, Christ's shoulders, you can stand on

He'll lift you out of darkest hole

No matter how far down did go

Quit digging and put trust in him

Come to the light; come to freedom
