Everyday

Everyday, a new moment spawns, a new dream dawns

We continue our journey despite life’s unpredictability

We maintain stability

Everyday, we wake to the beauty that only God can make

He knows how much we can take

Everyday, we’re shown that what we thought was impossible is possible

The path is always set

We’re grateful for what we get

Everyday, our love for one another grow stronger

It teaches us to hold on a little longer

Everyday, we clearly understand that life is what we make it

We don’t fake it

Everyday, we realize we don’t have to pretend

On God, we can depend

Everyday, the nectar of life gets sweeter

We embrace it

We face it

Everyday, we realize who blesses us all

God is always on call

Everyday

Gently

Gently, I lay beside you, taking in your beauty through and through

I take your hand, cause I knew by my side is where you would land

Gently, I bask in the wonder that is you

It’s sweeter than morning dew

I feel your touch, which  means so much

I thank God I now have something to hold

You’re the greatest story ever told

When you speak, you give life

When you enter, your presence relieves strife

I never worry when you’re near

Your motive and purpose are clear

Gently, I cherish every moment we share

They show me how much you care

Gently, we continue to love one another through it all

God is always at our beck and call

Gently, what I know for sure

Is that with God, our love is pure.

Survivor

flowers-garden-colorful-colourful

I’ve been to hell and back

I always compensate for what I lack

I’ve been through the fire, right down to the wire

Living day to day

I’ve endured a great deal of pain

Dealt  with a lot of stress and strain

I’m a survivor

When others thought I wouldn’t last a second longer

I grew stronger

When others thought I wouldn’t thrive

I continued to strive

I’m a survivor

When others thought I didn’t have the will to live

God showed me how much I can give

I’m a survivor

When others thought my world would end

Prayer taught me on whom I can depend

I’m a survivor

Unbridled Joy

flowers-garden-colorful-colourful

Waking up each morning, the sun in my window

My heart builds to a crescendo

Reflecting on blessings from above

Thanking God for His unconditional love

Taking everything as it comes

Understanding that everything happens for a reason

Enjoying my season

Knowing God is always in control

From one moment to the next, I stroll

Taking the journey for what it is

The power of God is breathtaking

The beauty around us is His making

No matter how my journey ends

With God, I’ll be the one who wins

Moving Forward

I face life’s uncertainty with nothing but glee

I won’t let trials get the best of me

Within each storm

I remain true to form

I revel in every blessing

That isn’t window dressing

My dark moments never last long

They make me strong

There’s no reason to cry

What’s meant for me won’t pass me by

I always take heed

I let God take the lead

No matter what happens, I’ll continue moving forward

Under life’s glare, I’ll remain in prayer

I’ll continue moving forward

Skin I’m In

flowers-garden-colorful-colourful

Standing in front of my mirror, staring at my reflection

Embracing every imperfection

Thanking God for all He’s done

He’s second to none

Remembering the days I cried

Remembering all the lessons that have been applied

Letting confidence and love rise

My purpose comes as no surprise

Despite those who called me ugly, there’s a God above me

The core of my being was created by Him

My praise I’ll never skim

From the crown of my head, to the soles of my feet

God’s blessings can’t be beat

God made no mistakes when He created me

He leads me

He has a plan for me

All that I am all that I’ll ever be

Is because of Him

I’ll continue my journey in the skin I’m in

On God I’ll depend

All About Love

Seeing the sun rise each day, letting God lead the way

Life is a blessing

It’s all about love

Setting priorities and keeping them straight

Understanding who and what is great

It’s all about love

Prayer works every time

It keeps you in your prime

It’s all about love

Going against the grain

Letting go of stress and strain

Forging ahead no matter what

Trusting your gut

It’s all about love

Embracing every moment until the end

Knowing on whom you can depend

It’s all about love

 

Precious Time

flowers-garden-colorful-colourful

Dusk turns to dawn and winter turns to spring. Revel in the joy they both bring

Life is unpredictable for sure

But what we experience is always pure

Step by step along our journey we go

God is in control, we know

We take the good, bad, bitter and sweet

The blessings bestowed upon us are a treat

We feel God’s love

It comes from heaven above

We relish every moment we spend together

The moments will last forever

We love each other dearly

The love is shown clearly

We’ll enjoy the journey until the end

On God we will depend

Just Another Day

flowers-garden-colorful-colourful

Just another day in the neighborhood and the city

Everything is pretty

Beauty can be found all around

God keeps us on solid ground

Just another day in the neighborhood and the city

Some days bring sunshine, others bring rain

Nothing ever goes against the grain

Just another day in the neighborhood and the city

We continue on an unpredictable journey

Where it leads, we don’t know

We continue to grow

Just another day in the neighborhood and the city

We deal with pleasure and pain alike

Prayer is our strike

Just another day in the neighborhood and the city
