I Rather Be a Jesus Holic

THERE WAS A TIME I WAS DRINKING MY LIFE AWAY THAT WHICH I DIDN'T CARE
    BUT THE LORD JESUS WAS STILL THERE

   I HAD DRINK DAY AND NIGHT OR WHEN EVER I CAN
   BUT THE LORD JESUS STILL HAD ME IN HIS HAND

     I HAD BEEN BEAT UP  STABBED AT TO DRUNK TO WALK EVEN I FELL ON MY FACE
    BUT THE LORD JESUS STILL KEPT ME ALIVE THROUGH HIS GRACE

   I HAD STOLEN FROM PEOPLE TO GET DRUNK EVEN RAN TO HIDE BEHIND A TREE
   BUT THE LORD JESUS HAD STILL FORGIVEN ME

   I HAD PASS OUT IN DIFFERENT PLACES EVEN OUT DOORS ON THE GROUND
  BUT THE LORD JESUS WAS STILL AROUND

   I HAD SPENT  A LOTS OF MONEY EVEN TO MY LAST DIME
  BUT THE LORD JESUS STILL GAVE ME TIME

   I HAD NOW TO DECIDE TO PRAY TO STOP DRINKING AND GIVE IT  UP
   AND THE LORD JESUS HAD REMOVE THIS  CUP

  I HAD CAME TO  BELIEVE THAT THE LORD  ALL OF LONG  HAD WOULD TAKE THIS      ALCOHOL FROM ME ONE DAY

  BECAUSE IN HIS WORD HE IS THE WAY

   NOW I RATHER  GET HIGH  ON JESUS  EVERYDAY OF MY LIFE INSTEAD  OF WINE
   BECAUSE HE IS THE TRUE VINE

                                                    I RATHER BE A JESUS HOLIC 
                                                     THEN BEING A  ALCOHOLIC


                                                                                                       WRITTEN BY CHARLES L.CARVER
