From Alcohol To God - Catherine Findlay
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.
