Better Off

Before I met you,
I was doing just fine
I was out having fun
My decisions were mine

I was having adventures
All my pictures are proof
Who cares if I had
Anxiety through the roof

You promised me purpose
You promised me peace
So I turned from my sin
And I tried to believe

I thought, "Things will be good now"
My motives are pure
Then came the loneliest season
I've had to endure

God, what are you doing?
Why are things getting worse?
I thought following you
Was a blessing, not curse!

The past way was easy
I was better off then!
Why is your way harder
Why don't I have friends?

God said, "You can trust me
I know this is tough
But what I offer you
Is more than enough"

There's eternity waiting
A new life ahead
Are you better off living
Or better off dead?
