Story Behind The Song
This is a collaboration that I've done with two musical masterminds Ian Ritchie and George Selsky on Ian's song "Love Overwhelms Me. The song is about an alcoholic who has lost his wife and children and prays to God for His help, he has 99 bottles of whiskey that he pours down the drain and while he empties the bottles he prays that the Lord will put him back with his wife and family.

Lyrics
Broken down, all alone
This whiskey don't do it no more
My heart is broken, I feel so lost
Lord I can't do this no more
99,98,97,96,95,94,93
As I pour this bottle down the drain
As I pour these bottles down the drain
Your Love Overwhelms me Lord above
Your Love Overwhelms me
92,91,90,89,88,87,86,85
Lord put us back, Lord put us back,
Lord put us back, back again
Your Love Overwhelms me Lord above
Your Love Overwhelms me
When I look out at this ocean blue
Your Love Overwhelms me
Help me to change
