Hiding in darkness, feeling unloved Depression shuns the light above Unwanted and left behind Feelings Satan plants within your mind* To this evil you must take a stand Jesus reaches out, will you take His hand? Give Him your tears, give Him your pain For on the cross it was paid. Repent and believe, call upon His name Under the sun there is nothing new Nothing good will the world offer you But purpose knocks at your door For God's glory is why you were born From out of the sadness you must rise Heed to the Comforter** drawing you to Christ Give Him your tears, give Him your pain For on the cross it was paid Repent and believe, call upon His name [Scripture reference: *John 8:44, Revelation 3:20-21, Isaiah 61:3, Matthew 11:29-30, Mark 1:15, Romans 10:13, Ecclesiastes 1:2-9, Colossians 1:16-17, **John 14:26 & I Corinthians 12:3]

"...I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God." (Hosea 2:23) Acquainted with grief To die for us all Our reviled esteem Fulfilling God's law For our transgressions He was beaten and shamed For God's forgiveness If we call on His Name Despise not His leading us to repentance Contrite hearts He welcomes with full acceptance What is it that you live for? Do you chase the wind? Christ will give you much more Do not die in sin As all else fades away Put your trust in Him His words will remain By His stripes we are healed You are loved You are loved You are loved You are loved You are loved [Scripture references: Isaiah 53, Romans 10:13, Matthew 5:17, Romans 10:4, Romans 2:4, II Peter 3:9, Psalm 51:17, Ecclesiastes 5:16 & 1:2, Luke 21:33, John 3:16]

To Let Go... 05:13
"Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity. What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun? All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing. The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun." (Ecclesiastes 1:2-3, 8-9) As I try to move on, I try to let go In my sleep it still haunts, on me it takes hold As I cry in my dreams I wake in my tears In depression I feel no one knows I'm here Holy Spirit, here am I In this darkness shine your light My mind off me, is now on Christ In him I believe As my eyes are flowing I trust you tonight Speak, for I want to hear of the things of Christ Perfect me in your love and cast out my fear To Your Spirit I yield, to the cross I draw near Transform me with your word and renew my mind I turn to you now and repent of my pride Holy Spirit, here am I In this darkness shine your light My mind off me, is now on Christ In him I believe [Scripture References: John 14:26 & 16:13-15, Matthew 11:29-30, Colossians 3:2, Proverbs 3:5, Matthew 5:36, Ephesians 2:8-9, James 4:6-10, I John 4:18, Romans 12:2]

about

This EP is an evangelistic anti-depressive suicidal black metal outreach. The objective of this release is to share the gospel and God's love with those who are suffering from depression and might be contemplating suicide. Depression can insinuate its presence and become a terror to ones mental and emotional peace.
It can be from loneliness, rejection, abandonment and so forth. Living with depression while trying to cling to happiness and life can feel like you're holding a dead infant; You know the child is not alive, but you still want to embrace it and sing lullabies. And in that despair, because of our sin depravity, we are inclined to chase every vanity the world has to offer, until suicide seems like the only solution, which is were Satan wants you.
In the world we will find temporary peace and pleasure, but as Solomon states throughout the book of Ecclesiastes, it's all empty and vain.

"I said in mine heart, Go to now, I will prove thee with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also is vanity. I said of laughter, It is mad: and of mirth, What doeth it?" -Ecclesiastes 2:1-2

Living for self and the world will lead you further into emptiness and sorrow, because the one who we owe our existence to is not the person we see in the mirror.
There is more to life than what our eyes see and there is a real loving God who has a purpose for your life.

"For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him" -Colossians 1:16

This same God doesn't want a Sunday morning fix of religion, He wants you to know him and have a true loving relationship with him.

"Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me." -Revelation 3:20

"The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit." -Psalm 34:18

"...I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." -Hebrews 13:5b

If you want to have a living relationship with God, this is what you need to know;

ONE WAY.
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." -John 14:6

"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;" -I Timothy 2:5

WE ALL HAVE SINNED.
"As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one." -Romans 3:10-12

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" -Romans 3:23

THE COST OF SIN.
"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." -Romans 6:23

"And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." -Revelation 20:15

YOU CANNOT SAVE YOURSELF.
"But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away." -Isaiah 64:6

"Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin." -Romans 3:20

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God." -Ephesians 2:8

GOD'S LOVE PROVIDED A WAY.
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him." -Romans 5:8-9

PLACE YOUR FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST.
"Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?" -Romans 2:4

"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." -Romans 10:9

"But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification. Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:" -Romans 4:24-5:1

"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." -II Peter 3:9

PRAY AND ASK JESUS TO SAVE YOU.
"For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." -Romans 10:10

"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." -Romans 10:13
