Name your drink
The Barman said to me
Have a couple of these and
Your spirit will be free

I know I shouldn’t have come here
But I thought that I could cope
I know that I must leave now
Before I lose all hope

To me alcohol’s a poison
A slow and painful death
That leads onto pits of hell
And no eternal rest

It’s been five years now
I guess I should take heart
But no matter how we’re trying
We’re never far apart

The Lord has saved me
I now know his peace
Now from a bottle
I get final release

Take Heart dear friend, take heart
For the dreams will finally depart
Release from curse of all addictions
The Lord is the cure for your afflictions
Take heart

I know now it feels to feel
The pain so deep inside
The pain so unrelenting
While you only want to hide

For years I sought my solace
In having one more drink
Whiling away in misery
And never stopping to think
