Beautiful Butterfly

flowers-garden-colorful-colourful

Beautiful butterfly, oh beautiful butterfly

Let me see you fly across the sun filled sky

On twelve o’clock high

You are a wonder to behold

A story that has to be told

Beautiful butterfly, oh beautiful butterfly

The world can see that you were meant to be

You are perfect in every dimension

Not beyond comprehension

From your beautiful wings come beautiful things

Oh beautiful butterfly, my love for you is strong

With you is where I belong

Our love is guaranteed to last a long time

Remain in its prime

Oh beautiful butterfly remain just as you are

You will go far

Evolution

Evolution, not designed to break my constitution

Evolution, intended to make me better in every way

Make me stronger each day

Evolution guarantees that old things are left behind

Elevates my mind

Evolution, a journey others don’t have to understand

I’ll hold on to God’s unchanging hand

Evolution ensures that I become what God intended

While I pray, my knees will remain bended

Evolution, makes me who I am

It isn’t a sham

Evolution, my God given purpose

Evolution, it’s what I hold dear

Nothing will ever stop my evolution

Nor break my constitution

 

Friends

flowers-garden-colorful-colourful

We’ve been friends for some time

We share every aspect of our lives from beginning to end

We’ve endured many ups and downs

To one another, we speak truth to power

For one another, we’re there every hour

We complete each other’s sentences, as if we know what the other will say

We cherish our moments together each day

We love each other unconditionally

Our bond is one that will never be broken

Our love for one another is clearly spoken

Our lives are intertwined

No matter how our  journey ends

We’ll always be friends

 

 

Peaceful Living

flowers-garden-colorful-colourful

Seeing the sun rise each day

Recognizing who paved the way

Appreciating the little things that mean so much

Feeling a tender touch

Hearing a bird sing

Loving the joy that life can bring

Seeing beauty all around

Standing your ground

Never letting principles sway

Praising God every day

Taking what comes from beginning to end

Knowing that with God you’ll win

Enjoying the journey no matter where it takes you

Letting nothing break you

Being grateful for life, health and strength

Praying at length

Peaceful living isn’t a chore

It should be enjoyed at its core

Obstacles

Obstacles will enter our lives at every turn

Our utmost desires must not burn

Obstacles will always reach us

They have a lot to teach us

Obstacles aren’t meant to destroy us

They’re meant to build us

Make us see what we have inside

From stride to stride

Obstacles can make us strong

Move us right along

Things we worry about

God will work out

Obstacles come and go

Obstacles help us grow

Obstacles will be put in our way

We just have to pray everyday

No matter what obstacles you go through

Never let any obstacles stop you

 

Seasons Change

flowers-garden-colorful-colourful

Autumn turns to winter, winter turns to spring

Let’s embrace all that each season will bring

Seasons change

It’s not at all strange

One chapter ends, another begins

Seasons change

We witness the dawn of each new day

The joy in our hearts will never sway

Seasons change

From week to week

We here God speak

Seasons change

Our comfort zone is gone

We know when to move on

Seasons change

That’s not difficult to explain

There’s no need to complain

Seasons change

It isn’t strange

Let’s make this plain

Thank God for each new season

He is the reason

 

Life

Life is filled with many curve balls

It rarely ever stalls

We can’t predict what will happen from one moment to the next

The muscle of prayer we must flex

Life holds for us no guarantees

Prayer is what every situation needs

We’ll surely taste both the bitter and sweet that life has to offer for sure

God’s love for us is pure

Our journey is meant to build us not destroy us

In God we must trust

Life is what we make it

Life is a blessing

Life shouldn’t be taken for granted

The seeds have been planted

Let’s enjoy life

 

Getting Happy

flowers-garden-colorful-colourful

I wake each morning to the dawn of a new day

An incredible feeling emerges without delay

I face each moment with a song of praise on my lips

I embrace the trials with which I’ve come to grips

I don’t worry about what’s in store

I have a God who blesses me at every core

My journey has been filled with bumps along the way

For them, I thank God every day

My bumps and bruises made me who I am

From my highest high, to my lowest low

They’ve helped me grow

I can only explain my joy without being coy

God directs my path

One thing I know for sure

His love is pure

Still Standing

flowers-garden-colorful-colourful

I’ve been through the worst of the worst

Suffered hunger and thirst

But I’m still standing

I’ve been pushed around, thrown around, and beaten down

But I’m still standing

Been scorned, love lorned

But I’m still standing

I’ve been dejected, rejected, shamed and defamed

But I’m still standing

I’ve suffered a lot of pain

Had to go against the grain

But I’m still standing

Prayer helps me face the enemy

God is a friend to me

I’m still standing

I’ve been spied on, lied on and mistreated

I’m still standing

I never walk alone

I praise the Most High on the throne

I’m still standing

Shine A Light

pexels-photo-196664

Shine a light and shine it bright

Do it morning, noon and night

Share a God given gift

It’ll surely give someone a lift

Shine a light and shine it bright

Regardless of fright

No one can stop what is meant to be

God will let that be known, you see

Shine a light and shine it bright

Do it with all your might

Don’t worry about who criticizes you

Faith will carry you through

Shine a light and shine it bright

Come what may

God works things out every day

Shine a light and shine it bright

You’re like an angel who hasn’t taken flight

Shine a light and shine it bright until the end

On God, you can always depend
