'Save Me' is my cry for help. There were about two or three years of my life were I was in a dark and very lonely place. I felt like I was all alone and there was no one to comfort me. The best way to describe the way I was feeling is... have you ever been so dizzy that you had no idea which way was up? Or have you ever had the wind knocked out of you where it was very difficult to breath?
Life became less and less important to me to where everything became a big blur. My heart was so broken from many different things in my life that I didn’t even want to exist. In my mind life could not get any worse. Put all of those together and you might be able to feel the same pain I had once felt. But the scary thing is that I grew up in the church, I've been a born-again Christian from the age of five, and I rededicated my life in the eighth grade.
I knew everything I needed to know and I still felt like this. I never stopped loving the Lord and I wouldn’t say I ever walked away from Him. So the question is why would a loving God allow me to feel this pain to where I hated life? To where I became very depressed and lonely? I could not wrap my head around that for the life of me. I finely decided I was not going to live like this any longer, I finally asked the Lord to take everything from me to break me down and start over. It was at that point that I read James 1, and I realized that God allowed me to go through this difficult time in my life to give me strength in Him. I can honestly say, that because of this, I feel as though I can conquer anything.
I have found pure joy in life and I am so blessed because of this. I now know that the darkest times in life, when you don’t feel like anything is going the way you would like them to, or when it just seems like you can't ever be happy, is when God is working the most. We need to learn to surrender our lives and let God work in us. I would dare to promise you that if you are feeling similar to the way I was feeling, if you let go and let the Lord work in your life, you will find pure joy just as I have found, and your dark clouds in your heart will turn white. Don’t be confused with having joy and being happy. Being happy is just a feeling. It will come and go, but joy will stick in your heart. Read James 1... it could save your life.
Casey Marvin is a Christian rock artist from Portland, Oregon.
Marvin started his first band, Followers of God, at the age of 10, with dreams of eventually becoming a rock star. What he didn't realize was that God had something much bigger planned than to just fulfill his childhood dreams.
Save Me, Marvin's first album, takes listeners on a moving journey through the realities of life, with powerful lyrics and infectious melodies. Drawing from his own experiences as inspiration for his music makes his songs both easy to relate to and identify with.
His dreams of becoming a well-known rock star have changed since he started his first band, 14 years ago. All that is on Marvin's heart now is to serve the Lord, while blessing people with his music.
