Chain Reaction

I thought I knew the meaning, 
Of my heart's true satisfaction. 
But nothing yet can compare,
To this awesome chain reaction. 

By giving myself to evil ways, 
Made my life an uphill climb. 
Living as though I knew it all, 
Sure wasted precious time. 

A moment came to me one day, 
When I had to make a choice. 
Follow this old beaten path, 
Or listen to your voice. 

This time I swear I'll listen,
My actions stayed the same.
I waited for your blessing, 
But yet it never came. 

I was so lost, scared, & mad, 
I couldn't hear you speak. 
Why'd you have to leave me?
I've finally reached my peak. 

Instantly, I felt your presence, 
It brought me to my knees.
You never left me all alone,
To fight these raging seas.

The feeling inside is overwhelming, 
I've clearly found true love. 
Your grace & joy is inviting, 
Please shield me from above. 

The grip that evil HAD on me,
Made it dark, too dark to see.
Now my life is filled with light, 
Thank YOU for saving ME! 

God you are the golden key, 
To my soul's true satisfaction. 
I broke my heart you fixed it back, 
And caused this chain reaction.
