Lyrics
*This song was inspired by a friend with a dependency on alcohol.
Tonight I come home early again
to begin guzzling beers
the warm and peaceful buzz
numbs away the feelings of fears
but as the night closes
my heart sinks into my gut
once again I pray again
I don't want to meet Jesus drunk
In this state, at those gates
I would falter
As my knee does bend
And I reach for my Savior
But now I've got the spins
And lots of opinions circle the earth
About what he'd do with my sins
And I don't have any answers or luck
I just don't want to meet Jesus drunk
The pain has become my shadow
Sometimes it seizes me hard
I don't reach for Him first when I'm low
I reach for that bottle of stars
It will snuff out the candle of blame
I've held to my own throat in shame
This little light of mine has been struck
I don't want to meet Jesus drunk
When I finally behold his face
Clearer than the clearest of days
I don't want to be seeing double
Or be dizzied by the rays
He will lift my head to the sky
And His love will flood my eyes
And He'll shake me right out of this funk
That has made me into this drunk
