Lord Help Me To Be Sober Again

There ain't no solace in that keg Puts you down on your knees to beg Take this thirst from within my soul Please raise me up and make me whole Dry me out to live once more Open up salvations door Let me see that heavenly shore Where I'll want to take that drink no more Where there's water clear and cold Please give me strength and make me bold Take this yearning from within Help me to be sober again I've wasted tons and tons of tears Over all these many, many years Meeting friends for just a few beers Lord! Help me to stop wasting tears There are times that I could cry For a cold beer and a shot of rye Hashing old times that slip away Wasting many hours of each day I say that I can quit anytime Drinking beer and shots and a glass of wine But I know deep down that that's a line Please Lord, help me to be sober again Please stop the burning in my soul Pick me up and make me whole I need your help to quench the fire And making You my main desire Please Lord, help me to be sober again!
