Only Through You

So I'm a big music person. I used to be in a band, many many moons ago. Slappa da Bass mon. Music has been a big part of my own personal therapy over the years. That being said, in this healing journey I've been on, music was a must to get out some of my thoughts. With a little help from AI, I've been able to turn some of my journal entries into full blown songs. While they may not be your cup of tea, they are for me, as part of my process. Having a creative outlet to get some of the words I've been writing into a form of art that speaks to me. Maybe they will resonate with you too. This one, "Only Through You" is about my journey back to faith, and that God has been instrumental in my healing. Between faith and actually doing the work; hours in therapy, almost 100,000 words written in my journal over the last few months, I am on the right path. While other things haven't turned out how I may have wanted, and I still feel deep regret for the pain I've caused to myself and others I care deeply for, I know it's out of my hands. The only true Savior is the one this song is dedicated to. On Spotify and other streaming sources now! Click here.

Only Through You

I spent years in the shadows, running from the pain,

Trying to fix what was broken, but falling just the same.

Thought I could carry the weight, make sense of it all,

But every step without You was another place to fall.

I kept searching for answers in a world that never knew,

But when I lost myself, Lord, I finally turned to You.

Only through You, the wounds start to fade,

Only through You, the chains break away.

You took the hurt, the fear, the doubt,

And showed me love I’d lived without.

Only through You, I’m healing today.

I pushed away love, afraid it would leave,

Built up these walls so no one could see.

But grace has a way of tearing them down,

And leading the lost to where hope is found.

You showed me the signs I had long ignored,

That healing begins when we open the door.

Only through You, the wounds start to fade,

Only through You, the chains break away.

You took the hurt, the fear, the doubt,

And showed me love I’d lived without.

Only through You, I’m healing today.

You held my mother long enough, so I could understand,

That mercy and love were always Your plan.

Through every tear, through every fight,

You were there, turning darkness to light.

Only through You, the past doesn’t define,

Only through You, I see love in my life.

You took the wounds, the weight, the scars,

And turned them into something far

Greater than me—Your love set me free.

I’ve been broken-hearted for so long,

But only through You, I’m moving on.

Still healing, still learning, but I finally see,

It was never just me… it was always You in me.
