Chris Renzema's song "God and Prozac" honestly explores the tension between faith and mental health struggles. He reflects on writing worship songs while relying on medication, acknowledging that belief in God's goodness doesn't erase emotional pain. The lyrics express a desire to love God and others while admitting the need for help to love himself. He finds hope in the promise of future restoration but chooses to be honest with God in the present. The song is a vulnerable, relatable confession that faith and mental health challenges can coexist, and it encourages authenticity in the believer's relationship with God.

The better part of my twenties spent writing songs about God
On a Prozac prescription, doesn't that seem odd?
Cause I believe in a gospel and a God who is good
But these chemicals don't always work like they should
Hung up on this heartache, and the distance between
The way that I'm feeling and what I believe
'Cause I know that You're with me, yeah I really do
But these feelings just need some help to break through
Cause I've been writing the book on how to write you a love song
When I still need help trying to love myself
I've been writing the book on how to write you a love song
When I still need help trying to love myself
I still need help trying to love myself
I keep trying to move forward, and not get stuck in my head
If there's a foolproof solution, I haven't found it yet
'Cause I know a days coming when You'll make all things new
But 'til then I'll just try to be honest with You
Cause I've been writing the book on how to write you a love song
When I still need help trying to love myself
I've been writing the book on how to write you a love song
When I still need help trying to love myself
I still need help trying to love myself
Cause I've been writing the book on how to write you a love song
When I still need help trying to love myself
I've been writing the book on how to write you a love song
When I still need help trying to love myself
I still need help trying to love myself
