Test To Testimony

We start each day

Come what may

We go through the fire

To obtain what we desire

We see the long road ahead

But move forward instead

Faith is the key

As it should be

Naysayers come and go

But their doubt helps us grow

We fall and rise again

Knowing eventually we’ll win

We maintain peace of mind

No matter what we find

For each day is a journey

Ordained by God only

God is our guide

Our gratitude we won’t hide

Despite some fear

We know our destiny is near

God is always there

When we say a silent prayer

Our journey will continue

Success is our just due

For it’s true

We’ll never be lonely

We’ll go from a test to a testimony

Dear Friend

Dear friend,

It’s been a while since we met

Our encounter is one we shouldn’t regret

We’ve traveled together

Even in stormy weather

We’ve shared many dreams

Strange though it seems

It’s easy to see

Our love is meant to be

We thought we’d lose our way

But we prayed every day

Our bond continues to grow

As we share what we know

God has been our guide

Our gratitude we shouldn’t hide

He’s the reason why

We laugh and cry

We stand in solidarity

Which is a rarity

Everyone can tell

We know each other well

Our hearts are pure

And we feel secure

The blessing we’ve been granted

Is the seed God planted

So let’s not pretend

We’ll be together until the end

Dear friend

The Breakthrough

We wonder what life holds in store

But God continues to fill us to the core

Despite heartache and pain

We see what we’ll gain

We stumble during our journey

But we rely on God only

He dries our tears

And eases our fears

Right or wrong

Faith keeps us strong

We go through the fire

To obtain what we desire

For we know

That’s the only way we’ll grow

Some thought we wouldn’t last

But we’ve learned from the past

We take one step at a time

While still in our prime

We see our purpose

Coming to the surface

We take a stand

While holding God’s hand

We’ve found our way

We’re proud to say

We did what we had to do

And here comes the breakthrough

And Still We Rise

From sea to summit: IOC launches sports group to protect mountains ...

We’ve been through the fire

Down to the wire

We’ve been all but forgotten

We’ve been down trodden

We’ve been scorned

We’ve had our hearts torn

Naysayers with no clout

Have tried to fill us with doubt

And still we rise

We’ve endured a lot of pain

And a lot of stress and strain

We’ve had a difficult past

Some didn’t think we’d last

Every moment filled us with dread

By something helped us forge ahead

Prayer helped us face each day

Come what may

And still we rise

We’ve gotten lost

But moved forward at all cost

We learned what was real

And we live it with zeal

Obstacles come and go

But we continue to grow

We stumble here and there

But God knows how much we can bear

And still we rise

When I’m Alone

When I’m alone

I approach a man on a throne

He offers love, guidance and protection

Without any projection

He makes it clear

That He’ll always be near

He shows me what can be

He brings out the best in me

I feel His power

Hour upon hour

Talking with him at length

Gives me strength

I prepare for another journey

Ordained by him only

I wonder what I’ll find

His presence gives me peace of mind

I stumble along with way

But I continue to pray

I learn a lot of lessons

I make several confessions

I see my purpose

Come to the surface

I finish my race

At my own pace

It makes me smile

Cause I know it was worthwhile

I know I can win

I do it again

And I call His name

Without an ounce of shame

When I’m alone
