A Drug Users Prayer
Lord can you help teach me away
to bear the marks I made.
The needle tracks from the shooting' up,
The nose bleeds from snorting to much crack,
How about the bruises on my back,
the payment for all the crap I smoked.
Lord I know I done you wrong
I know my life won't last that long
with the damage done.
I turn to you for help dear lord.
As my breath grows shorter, and I am
weak at last I wish that I had done this
sooner, you could have helped me long ago.
Now I lay at deaths door remembering
all the pain and hurt I caused.
I pray dear lord for a chance just one more.
I promise to behave and to change my old ways.
I promise dear lord to tell others of the misery
that has befell me, and the misery that I have
caused and the hope that lays in you so please
dear Lord please hear this drug users prayer
Amen.
