Misunderstood

Some think I’m cruel

But I follow the golden rule

Some think I don’t care

But I have a lot to share

Some think I take things for granted

But I water the seeds I’ve planted

Some think I don’t know where I stand

But I hold on to God’s unchanging hand

Some think I don’t know what’s real

But I live life with zeal

Some laugh when I stumble

But the experience makes me humble

I can find my way

I pray every day

I know what’s true

I see what God brought me through

Some think I don’t know my own power

But I talk with God every hour

It’s plain to see

He brings out the best in me

Right or wrong

He keeps me strong

I follow His lead

In order to succeed

Some think I’m strange

But I know I’ve changed

I know God’s love is pure

I feel secure

I do everything I should

I’m just misunderstood

Seven Days

For seven days I cried

For seven days I thought I died

I longed for you

I didn’t know what to do

I had sleepless nights

Under a million lights

I thought of what went wrong

And how to remain strong

I couldn’t pretend

I knew that was the end

For seven days

I called your name

Without an ounce of shame

I thought of moments we shared

And the dreams we dared

I knew what they were for

I wanted to give you more

But just as I feared

You disappeared

Now I’m alone

And traveling on my own

My days are different now

Fate showed me how

I’ve thought of you in many ways

For seven days

Back To God

I’m going back to God

Where I’m safe and secure

And love is pure

Where I can open my heart

And see where I should start

Where I can find solid ground

And grace is always around

Where I can be me

And I can reach my destiny

Where I can enter my zone

And I’m never left alone

Where I can find peace

That I’ll never release

Where I don’t have to pretend

And I’ll spread love until the end

There’s no need to prod

Cause I want to go back to God

New Day

It’s a new day

Time to try a new way

Time to see what we can hold

So another story will be told

Time for a new train of thought

Despite what we were taught

Time to head in a new direction

Under God’s protection

It’s a new day

Nothing more to say

It’s time to heal

Time to face what’s real

Time to learn from the past

Time to make precious moments last

Time to settle on solid ground

And embrace the joy we’ve found

It’s a new day

Yes, it’s true

Despite what we’ve been through

It time to grow

As we share what we know

Time to see

What’s meant to be

Time to enter a new place

Filled with God’s grace

We’ll take our stance

When we’re given a second chance

Knowing no matter what we say

It’s a new day

Too Close

We share every moment like friends

We kiss until the sunshine ends

We walk hand in hand

In a manner few would understand

Every step we take

Shows the memories we can make

We gain strength

By talking with God at length

Some thought we wouldn’t last

But we learned from the past

One thing is clear

We know what we hold dear

It’s something we never forget

We have nothing to regret

Our hearts beat as one

We think as one

God will decided when it’s done

For unlike most

We’re too close

The Moment

The moment we met

Is one I won’t forget

You took my hand

That made life grand

God whispered you can

And we mapped out our plan

We knew love was real

As we lived it with zeal

Every tender touch

Meant so much

The moment we kissed

I knew what I missed

Your warm embrace

Took me to a better place

There was nothing to fear

We knew what we held dear

We walked around

Basking in the joy we found

We took nothing for granted

We watered the seeds we planted

We didn’t have a care

We had so much to share

The love grew each day

I wouldn’t have it any other way

Cause the moment we met

Is one I don’t regret
