The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Renew My Mind/Renew My Spirit

Bruised and abused mentally battered no more
cause once your pushed so far its no turning back no matter who you are.
Bitterness creeps in, now consumed with sin
Trying to walk towards the light but only darkness in sight.
Tears steady roll en cause the flesh ain't controlled
and the heart and the soul battle with flesh outta control.
The corruptible nature's victorious once the wounds go so deep
The pain will not stop - night sweats when you sleep.
A deep yearning for peace, or desire to aquire to be free
but no hope is in sight cause you gave up the fight.
Right back to the streets - No safe place to be
traveling like a nomad searching for a home in this land
no true friends, no trace left of the "New Man".
Officially a Christian outcast but to them I will laugh
cause even in my pitiful state one day God will make a way
to control all this hate, and he will take me to a new land, wipe my tears away
repeat prayers that I have prayed, let me know he was listen 
and take all my cares away...
