Lord of Youth, hold me steady when I drink. Grant me the
balance and determination to stand on my own two feet
when my companions and I turn to liquor for fun.
Burn thou into my mind and heart an awareness of what
alcohol I have drank this eve. Let me see, marching
across my vision, the women in short skirts and high heels,
the drunken men, the degraded sense of standards, and
the unplanned one night stands that come to follow,
and all because of strong drink. Between myself and the
glitter of the social glass let me see these other sights,
O God.
Teach me the joys of drinking games, of gay laughter, and
of good friends, that shall increase under the false excitement
of wine. Guide me into the wonders and greatness of inebriation.
Steady me on a couch that is rooted to the floor in thy will.
So may thy hand hold me strong and set in purpose when I drink.
Amen.
Recording...
