You awakened the shackled giant within my soul
And allowed it to experience life as God had intended
Full of strength but caged within my own heart
It was you who unlocked the essence of my existence
Before you entered my life I was but an actor
Playing for the crowds, a life that was pretended
I gave great speeches and portrayed a sense of being
Things were just too easy and I met with no resistance
Before you gazed into my eyes I was but an ember
That drifted from the fire that had once been my passion
But now alert and filled with awe and wonder
My vision is much clearer as I venture into each day
Had I never known the joy of your very being
I would have never known the truth of satisfaction
Today I live for you and everything you are
I thank God each night for sending you my way
