Bottle By My Bed

My life was as empty

As the bottle by my bed

My friends turned into strangers

And I was all but dead

Jesus came and found me there

That day those demons bled

When my life was as empty

As the bottle by my bed

My first taste of the spirit

It brought me to my knees

I knew that I was helpless

I prayed "Lord help me, please"

Each time was the last time

That's what I always said

When my life was as empty

As the bottle by my bed

By my bed

Everything seemed further out of reach

And in my head

Oh, I found it hard to practice what I preached

Now I'm going back home

It's down this path I'm led

And I'm no longer empty

Like the bottle by my bed

Sometimes this road gets lonesome

And I wish that I could fly

So don't be afraid to stop me

When I pass you by

We'll sit and watch the sun go down

As the waters turn to red

And if you like, I could tell you

All about the bottle by my bed

By my bed

Everything seemed further out of reach

And in my head

Oh, I found it hard to practice what I preached

Now I'm going back home

It's down this path I'm led

And I'm no longer empty

Like the bottle by my bed

Thank God that I'm not empty

Like the bottle by my bed
