Chain of Gold

Many years ago

Gazing out my window

Beholding millions of bright stars in the cool midnight sky

I longed to be with You

I longed to talk with You

My heart was yearning to be with You, so I cried,

“Dear Lord, please speak to me!

Give me a clue to see

That I am not alone and that You're still my closest Friend

You and Your devotees

Are where I want to be!”

Then from the heavens came a sign—a golden chain

So I accepted it

And gratefully held it

I put it 'round my neck and magically it fastened there

I took this as a sign

Of our eternal bond

And vowed that always this dear token I would wear

And to this day, dear Lord

I still remember how

You were so kind to send some comfort to this lonely soul

And to this day, dear Lord

I still remember You

When I recall that precious gift—a chain of gold
