The Bottle or the Needle
From the day that I was born
I knew I was bad
Thats how they all labeled me
It was very sad
Mama was a junkie
Daddy died in jail
Try to build on that
I was bound to fail
The bottle or the needle---------- Chorus
Was my only choice
Until Jesus spoke to me
In his quiet voice
I listened very carefully
To what He had to say
If you believe in Me
Ill take your pain away
I lived up to the things
They all thought of me
I followed my genetics
Like it was meant to be
I never took the chance
I could prove them wrong
The bottom of the barrel
Was where I belonged
The bottle or the needle---------- Chorus
Was my only choice
Until Jesus spoke to me
In his quiet voice
I listened very carefully
To what He had to say
If you believe in Me
Ill take your pain away
Something in His message-------- Bridge
Touched me to my core
I began to live my life
Like I never did before
Now I spread His word
Everywhere I go
And speak my testimony
So everyone will know
The bottle or the needle---------- Chorus
Was my only choice
Until Jesus spoke to me
In his quiet voice
I listened very carefully
To what He had to say
If you believe in Me
Ill take your pain away
I believe in Him
He took my pain away
