Ephesians 5:15-20

15 Be very careful, then, how you live – not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. 18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit, 19 speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, 20 always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

God, my strength, my Saviour
come save me, set me free,
God, my hope, my Deliverer
lift me up, put a new heart in me. 

Lord, I hate this day.
The good cheer, the singing and partying,
but most of all the drinking.
“Come on, have a wee drink!”
They don’t know I can’t,
they don’t realise what it would do.
So I hate this day, Lord,
I wish it would pass
I hide away and shun company,
…and I am lonely,
it crushes me when everyone else is in company.
Why am I not like others, Lord?
Why must I suffer all on my own?
When will you deliver me, Lord?

My Child,
I am with you, I will always be with you.
I know the path of loneliness,
I have walked apart from others,
my heart has been broken 
and I have been crushed with the weight of my pain.
I will hold you and lead you by still waters,
I will take you by the hand.
