Sticks And Stones

I see sticks and stones

As they cover my bones

I learn about life in the making

Every dream is for the taking

God leads the way

As I travel during the day

I see my purpose

As it rises to the surface

It’s something I can’t ignore

And I’m filled to the core

I see sticks and stones

And not a lot of clones

I learn several lessons

As I make my confessions

What’s for me is for me

I’m the best I can be

One things is true

God has carried me through

The journey is mine

So everything is fine

I see sticks and stones

As they cover my bones

I take one step at a time

While still in my prime

I stumble here and there

But God offers tender loving care

I’m in a good place

Due to God’s grace

And I revel in peace

That I’ll never release

I have no regrets

Life is as good as it gets

Most of all

I’ll answer every call

As I cover my bones

With sticks and stones

In The Spirit

I embrace each day

In a grateful way

Blessings I can’t ignore

God has filled me to the core

I pick up my flowers

And talk with God for hours

I feel much better

And I love life to the letter

As I proceed

I do a good deed

I spread God’s love

As sent from heaven above

I know what I feel

And there’s a lot to reveal

God directs my path

I never suffer His wrath

He completes me

I’m the best I can be

I give Him my cares

As I say my prayers

I start another journey

Ordained by Him only

Every step I take

Is a memory I can make

Right or wrong

My faith is strong

And I’m living in the spirit

Not Broken

I may slip and fall

I may miss God’s call

I may run away

I may cry every day

I may let myself go

I may refuse to grow

I may refuse to see

The best in me

But I’m not broken

I may have faults

I may not get results

I may not hear

What’s abundantly clear

I may get a scar

While traveling far

I may not stand

Or walk on dry land

But I’m not broken

I may move from left to right

I may stay up all night

I may break down and cry

I may wonder why

I may be in pain

Not knowing what I’ll gain

I may be weak

As I hear God speak

But I’m not broken

Higher Ground

I pray consistently

Cause God listens to me

I proceed without fear

Cause my destiny is near

Some how, some way

I get stronger every day

I know I’ll survive

I’ll continue to thrive

Cause despite what comes around

I’ll reach higher ground

I’ll fall and rise gain

Faith will help me win

Despite the mistakes I make

God knows how much I can take

I stay on par

As I reveal every scar

It won’t take long

To see where I belong

Despite what comes around

I’ll reach higher ground

Naysayers will come and go

But Naysayers will help me grow

There’s no need to deny

Or wonder why

Cause I’m in my zone

God won’t leave me alone

I follow His lead

That’s a blessing indeed

Cause despite what comes around

I’ll reach higher ground

For Love

I’d search high and low

I’d let the past go

I’d move heaven and earth

I’d see what everything’s worth

I’d search the seven seas

I’d learn who to please

I’d search my heart

I’d learn where to start

For love

I’d bet my life

I’d let go of the strife

I’d give up my possessions

I’d make several confessions

I’d take my stance

I’d do a victory dance

I’d count every blessing

Without a lot of stressing

For love

I’d follow God’s will

I’d let the world stand still

I’d keep a guide

My face I wouldn’t hide

I’d catch a star

I’d travel far

I’d look at my peak

I’d let God speak

For love

On My Own

I rise each morning

As I face a new day

Blessings come my way

I’m never lonely

Cause I trust God only

He watches my every move

He has nothing to prove

I go through the fire

To obtain what I desire

Despite the pain

I see what I can gain

God is always there

With tender loving care

Right or wrong

He keeps me strong

My journey is a lesson

Here’s my confession

I see what’s meant to be

Faith brings out the best in me

I keep going

And I keep growing

Just like I should

God said I would

I’m in a good place

Due to God’s grace

I”m not alone

But I’m on my own

Still Here

I’ve been through the fire

Down to the wire

And I’ve been defamed

I’ve been left to die

While wondering why

I’ve been left alone

With nothing to call my own

But I’m still here

I’ve been in despair

With no one to care

I’ve fallen to my knees

Not knowing who to please

I’ve been weak

Until I heard God speak

I’ve lost my way

But prayed every day

And  I’m still here
