Here I Stand

Here I stand

With love in my hand

God filled me to the core

I want to give you more

You captured my heart

From the very start

I’ll never forget the day

You came my way

Here I stand

As our love grows

God knows

We’re meant to be

You bring out the best in me

The things we share

The dreams we dare

Put us on solid ground

I know what I’ve found

Here I stand

Side by side with you

After all we’ve been through

What we have is real

We live it with zeal

Right or wrong

Faith keeps us strong

You are a treasure

Beyond measure

Here I stand

Until our journey ends

There’s no need to pretend

Your love is pure

You make me feel secure

We have a lot to gain

Despite the stress and strain

I have no regrets

Life is as good as it gets

I found a soft place to land

And here I stand

From The Ashes

From the ashes I rise

Experience made me wise

I’ve been through the fire

Down to the wire

As a new reality takes hold

My story will be told

I found a source of strength

In talking with God at length

From the ashes I rise

It should come as no surprise

God showed me the way

As I prayed every day

He made it clear

That my destiny is near

I’ve come this far

By reaching for a star

From the ashes I rise

The pain I’ll never forget

The process I don’t regret

It restored my soul

It made me whole

That was God’s plan

I saw it in the palm of His hand

Overcoming an obstacle

Isn’t entirely impossible

I’ll finish my race

At my own pace

Cause that’s wise

For from the ashes I rise

Falling In Love

I’m falling in love

It feels like heaven above

Your tender touch

Means so much

The things we share

Let me know you care

You brighten my day

And I wouldn’t have it any other way

I’m falling in love

That much is true

I can’t get enough of you

What we have is real

I live it with zeal

We share our dreams

Until we burst at the seams

To know you is a pleasure

Beyond all measure

I’m falling in love

That’s all I know

Your presence has helped me grow

You fill me to the core

I want to give you more

Your heart is pure

You make me feel secure

The seed has been planted

I don’t take it for granted

You’re a blessing indeed

So I’ll take heed

You’re sweeter than a dove

And I’m falling in love

I’m Free

I lost my way

I was in despair every day

Life brought me down

Turned my smile to a frown

I had all I could take

Didn’t know what moves to make

It didn’t take long

To see something was wrong

Then God turned me around

Put me on solid ground

And now I see

I’m free

I wallowed in shame

Didn’t know my name

I didn’t pretend

Cause I thought I’d reached the end

I began to cry

Without understanding why

I was in pain

Couldn’t see what I could gain

It’s old news

That I suffered from the blues

But God saved me

And now I”m free

I’ve fallen on several occasions

I’ve suffered many abrasions

Winter, spring, summer, fall

I’ve been through it all

My life has been a test

Just like all the rest

There’s no cure

Only prayer makes me feel secure

God is real

I worship Him with zeal

He saved me

And now I’m free

I’m In You

You fill me to the core

I can’t ask for more

Your loving touch means so much

What we share

Let’s me know you care

It’s plain to see

We’re meant to be

You do what you do

Cause I’m in you

You hold me close

When I need it most

You make me smile

You make me want to stay with you a while

Your heart is pure

You make me feel secure

You give me more each day

My heart will never stray

You do what you do

Cause I’m in you

Our love is built to last

We can forget the past

You’ve stayed by my side

My gratitude I can’t hide

You’ve shown me what’s real

I live it with zeal

I’m on solid ground

Thanks to the joy I found

You do what you do

Cause I’m in you
