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.
