This is a poem that I wrote after Jesus freed me from the family curse of alcoholism and its driving anxieties.
I was took when I was young
I was took when I was weak
But now I found my Jesus, hear him speak!
It did not happen right away
It could not happen until the day
That I recognized
He chose to save me.
As I let him in
He kicked you out
You’re out forever, there is no doubt.
He filled that space, he filled throughout
My arms got numb, there is no doubt
I was took when I was wild
I was took when I was lawless
But now I found my Jesus, he is flawless!
You are a waste
though you got a sweet taste
but really it was acquired
so now I say, you’re fired!
A waste of money
A waste of time
And a life full of perpetual strife!
Go away I don’t need
Go away I don’t want
Go away I can’t keep
I was took when I was wild
I was took when I was lawless
But here’s my Jesus, he is flawless!
He has set me up, not to fail
He has given me my people so I can prevail.
I’ll keep these blessings that you never could
My beautiful wife
My dear children
My own new life!
Just leave my sight and leave my mind.
I am filled with His love, divine!
That is who I want, I’ll be just fine!
I have a new calling, and you’re not in it.
Step aside all my family will get it.
They need me pure, they need me whole
Not as you make me, a liar out of control.
And stay away, too, from the ones that I love
I’ll call on the chariots that have flown up above
God-sent for the ones I love
Protect them from your strangling grip
I’ll call on them again, to make another trip!
You can’t take me, I am saved
You can’t take me, I’m reborn
I’ve found my Jesus, I’m restored!
I won’t follow and don’t wish you well
I’m leaving now and condemn you to hell!
Stay down there, it’s a perfect fit
That unholy place, that fiery pit!
A Christian poem by: Tristan Woster
Hi Tristan, that was deep in your soul those words only Jesus could give you. It is a battle on your own but with Him your never alone. HE guards you day and night, because you have found His Light, that over comes darkness.
I too was in your story, I had a hard battle with alcohol for many years, until one day while I was pouring a beer, I heard this voice “Don’t drink.” I ignored it then the 2nd week the same voice, I was feeling a bit uncomfortable by then, but still ignored it, then the 3rd time, it got my attention, I thought this has to be God, it is not me, I love drinking, it is not the devil, he wants to destroy me, so I just gave up. It has been nearly 20 years, no side effects, nothing. I am now free of the urge. The pulling of my thoughts when near bottle stores. All gone. I am amazed myself/, but I think the Fear of the Lord does help, I don’t want to not listen to Him. 3 is a good no. in the Bible. Peter 3 times. 3 Crosses, 3 wisemen Father Son Holy Spirit.
Praise ye the LORD Jesus! Thanks for sharing
Love this! So powerful and so true! Great meeting you and thanks for sharing this amazing poet with me. Jesus is so good, our story is not written yet and he has so much more to do!
