From Alcohol To God
Introduction
Dear Reader,
I write this book in poem style as God gave me the Gift after saving me from alcohols clutches.
I want to share my story and let others with addictions see there is a way out.
I tried to do it myself but kept slipping back.
It wasn't till I was at rock bottom until I cried out for help and God pulled me out the muck.
I bear my soul in my writing in order to help others.
No Friend Of Mine
I once had a friend I used to keep
Hidden under my pillow when I tried to sleep
Or, placed in places hidden from view
The life I lived was so untrue
That friend started of as a wee acquaintance
And then years after put me in a trance
It was no more a friend than the devil himself
Destroying and maiming bringing down my health
One day that friend I could no longer keep
It had blinded and scared me, making me weep
Thank God for a Friend so kind and true
He broke that bottle and made my life new
Pain
Pain! So hard to focus on much else
Pain! So easy to look inward feeling sorry for yourself
Pain! Robs you of the joys life has for you
Pain!Makes it hard to accept God cares for you
Aah! But what does scripture say?
The joy of the Lord is your strength, all the day
Overcoming the pain with His Word is the way
Not easy I know as have struggled each day
Singing praise through the pain works as well
Putting moaning aside lifts you from that hell
So, as hard as it is to look past it to praise
Let's fight past it and our voices raise
For God hears and He helps us to help ourselves
Pain! satans tool to lead us astray God turns to good when in His Word we delve
