Lessons

What we experience every day

As we embrace God’s way

The journey we take

All the memories we make

What we gain

Through heartache and pain

The divine purpose

That lies beneath the surface

How we gain strength

After talking with God at length

What heals every soul

What makes life whole

All the blessings granted

All the seeds we’ve planted

What makes us smile

Even laugh a little while

How we get filled to the core

Before God offers us more

Moments of pleasure

We cherish beyond measure

Running our race

In a safe and secure place

Opening our eyes

To a wonderful surprise

Lessons

What we’ve learned

All the stripes we’ve earned

Finding solid ground

Sharing the joy we found

Resting in a home

Where our souls can roam

Surviving every storm

Breaking every norm

Facing our naysayers

As we say our prayers

Giving as good as we get

With very little regret

Learning how to live

Learning how to give

Learning how to love

Just like heaven above

Finding a home

Where our souls can roam

Falling then rising again

Knowing faith helps us win

Looking straight ahead

Without an ounce of dread

Lessons

Garden Of Love

We planted a garden of love

As we looked at heaven above

We held each other close

Cause bonding matters most

The moment was real

Too difficult to conceal

We planted our seeds

We did some good deeds

We cherished the blessing granted

We watered the seeds we planted

We shared all our days

We embraced God’s ways

We hung on the word

We’ve always heard

We watched our garden grow

More than anyone would know

Every tender kiss

Was hard to resist

Every tender touch

Meant so much

We did a love dance

To celebrate our romance

And we felt brand new

After seeing what God can do

We planted a garden of love

It was like fitting a hand and glove

We started a journey

Meant just for two only

Faith made us see

We were meant to be

We work in our garden for sure

Every moment is pure

Cause God set our path

Without unleashing His wrath

We break into a smile

We laugh a little while

Love is our mission

We have crystal clear vision

We rest in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

We look at every seed

We’re blessed indeed

Others look at us

Then see in God we trust

We move without a doubt

That things will work out

And our garden of love

Resembles heaven above

Second Chance

We got lost one day

Then God made a way

We got turned around

Before God put us on solid ground

We got confused

We thought we’d been used

Until God set us free

Showed us what’s meant to be

We longed for something pure

Then God made us feel secure

We felt weak

Until we heard God speak

We searched for purpose

Until it rose to the surface

We longed for something real

Something we can’t conceal

Until God revealed what’s for us

In Him we trust

We didn’t know where to go

Looked at what we know

Then God set our path

Without unleashing His wrath

We learned to smile

Even laugh a little while

We did a victory dance

To celebrate our second chance

We looked in our hearts

To see where love starts

We didn’t see what we’d gain

Through heartache and pain

Until God revealed what’s in stone

Why He didn’t leave us alone

We searched for a place

Filled with mercy and grace

Then God gave us a home

Where our souls can roam

We shared an encouraging word

That deserves to be heard

We searched for peace

Our hearts won’t release

Until God healed every soul

Then made our lives whole

We did a victory dance

To celebrate our second chance

Close To You

I long to share your days

In a million different ways

I think of a tender kiss

That I can’t resist

I think of a touch

That means so much

I think of a journey

Meant just for two only

I see you in my dreams

Strange though it seems

Faith has made me see

That we’re meant to be

I see your face

In a beautiful place

You are a blessing granted

I’ll water the seeds I planted

I look at heaven above

Then think of your love

What I feel is real

Something I can’t conceal

My thoughts are pure

They make me feel secure

I feel brand new

I long to be close to you

I think of solid ground

Sharing the joy we found

Doing a love dance

To celebrate our romance

Holding you close

Cause love matters most

Sharing a smile

That travels a mile

Looking in your eyes

Seeing a wonderful surprise

Handing you roses

Striking a few poses

Sharing a home

Where our souls can roam

Getting filled to the core

Before you offer me more

Seeing what’s in stone

Why love won’t leave me alone

Enjoying moments of pleasure

Beyond all measure

Love filling my soul

Then making me whole

I feel brand new

I long to be close to you
