[Gm] [Bb] It was October 3rd, [Gm] 2008.
[Bb] I remember hearing the cop knock on my front door.
The cop knock has a different sound than any other [C] knock,
so I knew right away [D] what was happening.
I grabbed my drugs and [Gm] I ran into my mom's room.
I threw a bag of [C] cocaine into her dresser,
and then I ran into her bathroom
[Bb] and tried to flush 50 balloons of heroin down the toilet,
and all of them went down except for one.
The door got kicked down.
The [C] drug enforcement agents from our [Gm] county
just swarmed my childhood home, and [Bb] they arrested me.
I remember looking through my little window in my jail cell,
just waiting for my mom to come and bail me out
[D] because she had always done so [Gm] in the past.
And then I finally saw my mom, and I just felt like,
ugh, [D] I'm finally free.
[Bb] Like, she's going to bail me out like she always does.
And then she goes through the door, and she's in handcuffs.
[Gm] The cops found the [Bb] drugs that I had thrown in her dresser,
and that was, that was my rock bottom.
It was just this whole rush of emotions that had come over me,
all these emotions that I hadn't felt in a really, really long time
because [D] I had been so numb.
That [Gm] was when I could do nothing
except for fall onto my knees [D] and pray,
you know, on my knees in that fluorescent [Bb] white holding cell
that God found me.
It was the first time I had prayed in, like, 5 [Gm] years.
Honestly, I felt like I was [G] alive again for the first time in a [Gm] really long time.
I felt in my [Bb] heart at that moment that that was the moment
where my [Gm] life was going to change [F] and did change.
Everyone [Bb] who I was close to had abandoned me.
[Gm] I felt like I was outcast, [F] but the church brought me [Bb] in.
It was almost like I had [F] never left before.
There were [Gm] many years where I felt [Bb] completely useless.
The church and when my relationship grew again with God,
that was when I knew I had purpose.
It was the most [F] important thing that I did was to get back [Gm] involved
and to help [Eb] serve.
If a kid is going [Gm] through [F] addiction or any [Bb] kind of thing
where they feel like they're prisoners,
I feel like I can be the one to tell them, like,
hey, if I can get redeemed, God can [F] do the same thing in your life.
So I feel like [Bb] it's kind of my responsibility now
to share [Bb] my story with people.
It's not even my [Gm] story.
It's [F] God's story.
