At times, you must sit still and let the Lord work on your behalf.

God said: I will open many doors for you.

God is able.

Do your best and let God handle the rest.

Let go and let God.

When the elders speak

Wisdom comes from their core

Before they offer us more

We hear about their days

Along with God’s loving ways

We hear how they gain strength

By talking with God at length

The journey they’ve traveled

Why their souls haven’t unraveled

We watch them hold their faith close

Cause faith matters most

We see what they gain

Through heartache and pain

We hear them speak with pride

Their gratitude they don’t hide

They speak of their dreams

Until they burst at the seams

They speak of the encouraging word

That deserves to be heard

They speak truth to power

Hour after hour

They speak of their victory

And what’s meant to be

They reveal what’s in stone

Their wisdom never leaves us alone

When the elders speak

They talk about past storms

How they broke norms

The naysayers they face

As they travel from place to place

They speak of sitting still

As they accept God’s will

They talk about perfect peace

Their hearts won’t release

They talk about seeing unconditional love

While looking at heaven above

They speak of the journey

Meant just for them only

They speak of what they treasure

Beyond all measure

They speak of the blessings granted

All the seeds they’ve planted

How they start over again

How faith helps them win

How words uplift the next generation

Without hesitation

When the elders speak

Where love lies

Two become one

When they see what God has done

A new day begins

We see how faith wins

Divine purpose appears

As God removes our fears

We embrace the journey

Meant just for us only

We find perfect peace

Our hearts won’t release

Faith fills our core

Before God offers us more

We learn to stand

As we hold God’s hand

We enjoy moments of pleasure

Beyond all measure

We find a home

Where our souls can roam

We fill every chapter

With joy and laughter

We run our race

In a safe and secure place

And life gets better

When we embrace it to the letter

Where love lies

God sets things in stone

He never leaves us alone

We open our eyes

To a wonderful surprise

We reach our peak

Whenever we hear God speak

We face our naysayers

While saying our prayers

We share a word

That deserves to be heard

We survive every storm

We break every norm

We pass every test

Just like all the rest

We gain strength

By talking with God at length

We learn to smile

Even laugh a little while

We see the steps we take

All the memories we’ll make

We cherish the blessings granted

We water the seeds we planted

Where love lies

Trust God. It’s gonna work.
