Alcohol

ALCOHOL When I turned twenty, I started to drink It made me feel like a man, I think But I found out I was mistaken Lost in a fog that may not be shaken For years I lived in a twilight dream With Johnny Walker, Jack Daniel and Jim Beam In retrospect, my friends were few But they were alcoholics too Like the Prodigal Son, I came to my senses I knew it was time to start mending fences So I entered treatment to save a career That was quickly beginning to disappear On the eleventh of January 1982 I quickly learned what I must do I needed to look life full in the face And save myself from certain disgrace Today I tell others who are beginning to fall You can't drown your sorrows in alcohol Rely on God, our sovereign Creator And you won't have to miss out later On eternal life where you will be In total bliss for eternity So heed the words of a man who knows Alcohol abuse will fill you with woes But once you trust Jesus Christ with your life Your days will not be filled with strife They will be filled with one thing for certain You'll miss hell at your final curtain
