David M. Bradshaw - We're All Addicts By Nature Lyrics

Salvation enlightenment and recovery require a divine discovery
Grace is always a humiliation which requires a divine intervention

We're all addicts by nature stuck in destructive habits we favor
A new worldview we all need small achievable steps to succeed

Step one when I am weak I am strong
Step two a greater power says I belong
Step three the choice I've made of surrendering
Step four a fearless list to stop pretending
Step five admit to God and others my wrongs
Step six allow God to remove the causes
Step seven ask God to remove my faults
Step eight made a list to amend my assaults
Step nine asked forgiveness from those offended
Step ten asking what else I've neglected

Step eleven union with God in prayerful meditation

Step twelve now awakened modeling non-intoxication

We're all addicts by nature stuck in destructive habits we favor
A new worldview we all need small achievable steps to succeed

Addiction is a spiritual disease of the soul
A frustrated desire to be loved and made whole
The opposite of addiction is connection
Loving God and others is the secret to redemption

Connection is redemption Connection is redemption Connection is our redemption
