Getting In The Way

I lie in bed at night

As I wait for daylight

And one thing’s for sure

I long for something pure

I see it in my mind

It isn’t hard to find

I look very closely

In anticipation mostly

And as night turns to day

Thoughts of you continue getting in the way

I embark on a journey

As ordained by God only

I see what can be

And I see who I want close to me

It’s a desire

That sets my soul on fire

It’s a tender kiss

That I really miss

I take it day by day

But thoughts of you keep getting in the way

As I continue my walk

I want to talk

Share my dreams

Until I burst at the seams

My feelings are real

Too hard to conceal

And yet every day

Thoughts of you keep getting in the way

Faith

Faith is awaking each day

Being touched in a special way

Understanding God’s plan

Hearing Him when He says you can

Knowing you’re not alone

Staying in your zone

Facing all the naysayers

Saying your prayers

Rising whenever you fall

God answering every call

Knowing what’s meant to be

Telling the world what you see

Staying tall and strong

Knowing where you belong

Finding peace of mind

Knowing God is one of a kind

Arriving at a special place

Filled with God’s grace

Keeping God close to you

When nothing else will do

Faith

Forever More

We’ve been through thick and thin

Some wonder how we win

We’ve gone through the fire

To obtain what we desire

We’ve been through more than most

So we hold each other close

It’s plain to see

We’re meant to be

Tender loving care

Is always there

We’re filled to the core

And we’ll love each other forever more

With each passing day

We find our way

God is our guide

That we won’t hide

He is our blessing

So there’s no stressing

Our hearts beat as one

Until the day is done

What we feel is real

It’s hard to conceal

We’re filled to the core

And we’ll love each other forever more

Resurrection

I’ve been through the fire

Down to the wire

As I looked for my name

I hung my head in shame

I’ve lost my way

While getting through every day

I’ve been shamed

I’ve been defamed

Like never before

As life hurt me to the core

I’ve stumbled here and there

But found tender loving care

It’s no mystery

That God found me

He turned me around

Put my feet on solid ground

What He’s done

Is second to none

I feel brand new

I’ve changed my point of view

I follow God’s direction

For this is my resurrection

Face To Face

When we meet face to face

We share a warm embrace

We look in each others eyes

And there’s no surprise

We clearly see

We’re meant to be

We share many days

And several passionate ways

Things we won’t leave behind

Things that are hard to find

When we meet face to face

Nothing goes wrong

We know where we belong

We hold hands

Right where love stands

What we feel is real

It’s too much to conceal

We have no regrets

Life is as good as it gets

Our hands aren’t tied

We display our pride

We’re on solid ground

Thanks to the joy we’ve found

It doesn’t get any better

We love each other to the letter

We’re in a good place

When we meet face to face

Tiny Hands

Tiny hands

Embrace love where it stands

They touch every soul

And they make everything whole

They provide pure healing

When the heart starts reeling

They point in the right direction

With plenty of love and affection

And they hold close

Things that matter most

Tiny hands plant seeds

As they do good deeds

They count every blessing

Without a lot of stressing

They give a clue

To what God can do

And they offer a tender touch

Which means so much

And they offer a guide

With plenty of pride

I am Woman

I am woman

Strong, brave and true

I do good deeds for you

I start with a prayer

Cause God is there

Then I embark on a journey

Ordained by God only

I share my love

As sent by heaven above

And I continue to grow

As I share what I know

I am woman

Beyond a shadow of a doubt

I don’t have to scream and shout

God is my guiding light

I make every wrong right

That takes me to a place

Filled with God’s grace

I hold the world close

Cause that matters most

And I stand tall

Whenever I hear God call

I lend an ear

Without an ounce of fear

As come what may

I cherish every day

It’s easy to see

I’m the best I can be

For I am woman
