Jordan McDuff - Baker Acted Lyrics

All I really know is I should have been baker acted, but I got my mind back, it was just an overreaction
Been looking at the past and I've been seeing who acted
Out of the pocket, I wish I could have stopped, it's just a caused a reaction
And I'm finding all my worries are an overreaction
Blessed up with a thought, I've been kicking into gear
Been holding this garbage for over a year, and I'm wondering who's looking at me as I'm shoveling fear
My shriveling cheer is a process of losses, but I'm making it clear
My life that we have while we are stuck down here is only given purpose
By the one who is made in his image, and it's a clear fit that I'm skipping my prescription
The pills for the pain are worse than the injury
I might cave and leave with addiction, but I got a child now, and I'm standing up with my convictions

I had surgery in March
I could barely walk and didn't realize that it would be this hard, the withdrawals from the
Pills it was really that hard, I got some Ibuprofen and some Tylenol.
I made the choice to wean off, I did it for God
I did it for my family, I did it for myself
I don't want to be another one that was left on the shelf
Addiction I've witnessed and I know it too well
I feel with every bar it comes with a screw
Workman's comp wants you to get starved and screwed
I waited ten months before the scar was approved
Living under the knife and I recall the truth
There were weeks when we had no money to use
We wondered how we would make it through
But there in the courts the judge approved
By the fresh air when the check finally landed
It was like God had holding our hands
I've been taken care of by my wife, my family
I can feel the prayers giving strength and stamina
I praise him while standing up
Both hands in the air and I praise him while I'm giving up
My plans and my will as God examines ya
Sins in your life and he banishes them to the Christ of the Cross
So you can stand again
