Long Way

I have to say

I’ve come a long way

From stress and strain

And heartache and pain

I’ll say with pride

God has been my guide

With all respect due

I know what He’s brought me through

I have to say

I’ve come a long way

I cannot lie

God heard my cry

He restored my soul

He made me whole

It is by His grace

That I’m in a better place

I have to say

I’ve come a long way

When I was down

God turned me around

It’s easy to see

He brings out the best in me

He filled me to the core

I want to give Him more

Without hesitation

I’ll show my appreciation

Cause I know for sure

That His love is pure

And I have to say

He’s brought me a long way

Last Night

Last night

I cried myself to sleep

My emotions ran deep

I cried tears of joy

As I counted blessings granted

And watered the seeds I planted

I knew I wasn’t alone

Everything was set in stone

Last night

I said a silent prayer

I felt God’s presence everywhere

The love was pure

It made me feel secure

I felt His power

In the Midnight hour

Last night

I saw what’s true

And all God has brought me through

No need to wonder why

I walk with my head held high

Faith is the key

It brings out the best in me

Last night

Before I want to bed

I heard God say

He would make a way

He turned me around

Put me on solid ground

His will is clear

I hold it dear

I’ve gained new insight

After last night

Holding You

Holding you

Turns my gray skies blue

You’re a treasure to behold

You’re worth more than gold

With one touch of your hand

I know where I stand

With a heart that’s true

Let me say

I love you

Holding you

Means the world to me

You are my destiny

In you I’ve found

Strength where I was torn down

Your warm embrace

Put me in a better place

It should be clear

I love having you near

With a heart that’s true

Let me say

I love you

Sweet Love

I was lost and alone

With a heart made of stone

Then you came along

And showed me how to be strong

You fill me to the core

I want to give you more

To know you is a pleasure

Beyond all measure

Cause from heaven above

Came your sweet love

You’re sweeter than morning dew

I can’t get enough of you

Your tender touch

Means so much

The things we share

And the dreams we dare

Make life worth living

Cause from heaven above

Came your sweet love

What we have is real

I live it with zeal

Everyone can see

We’re meant to be

We’ve embarked on a journey

Ordained by God only

As we take a stance

In preparation for a lover’s dance

I thank heaven above

For your sweet love

Little Girl Blue

Little girl blue

You’re sweeter than morning dew

You spread love all around

As you stand on solid ground

You pray every day

No matter what comes your way

Your faith keeps you strong

As you move along

Little girl blue

With your heart so true

You calm others with your presence

They can see your essence

You handle things without fear

Cause you know God is near

You create a safe space

As you move from place to place

Little girl blue

Others see what God brought you through

A testiment to His power for sure

He’s made you feel secure

You’ve weathered many storms

And broken several norms

That makes you whole

God restored your soul

Little girl blue

With your smile so bright

You’re a shinning light

You’ve stood on principles

While collecting little miracles

Everything’s set in stone

God won’t leave you alone

You’re a dream come true

Little girl blue
