To Tell

To tell is to reveal

What the heart can’t conceal

It’s making clear

What you hold dear

It’s letting the world see

What’s meant to be

It’s creating a plan

As God says we can

It’s taking a journey

Meant for you only

And allowing lessons

To become confessions

It’s finding solid ground

And sharing the joy you found

It’s seeing your purpose

Rise to the surface

It’s going to a place

Filled with God’s grace

And treating it well

As you begin to tell

The Sum Of My Strength

The sum of my strength is prayer

Cause I know God is there

It is also love

As sent by heaven above

It’s when I see

What’s meant to be

It’s falling and rising again

As God shows me how to win

It’s recognizing my power

Hour after hour

The sum of my strength is peace

That I’ll never release

I keep God close

Cause He matters most

It’s cherishing every day

In a special way

It’s spreading joy across the land

With the palm of my hand

And it’s letting go

Of what doesn’t grow

The sum of my strength is clear

I hold it dear

It’s the guiding light

That makes dark days bright

It fills my soul

And it makes me whole

It’s my space

In a special place

And I celebrate at length

The sum of my strength

Summer Days

Summer days

Make for passionate ways

They reveal the sun

And all our blessings

Each and every one

They show what’s grown

And all we’ve known

They help us see

What’s meant to be

And a new point of view

After all we’ve been through

Summer days are pure

They help us feel secure

They reveal God’s plan

Then we realize we can

They come one at a time

While we’re still in our prime

They represent a new path

Without God’s wrath

And the chance for something better

By loving life to the letter

In many ways

During summer days

My Desire

My desire is real

It’s what I’ll reveal

It warms my heart

Where thoughts start

I long to share love

As sent by heaven above

And touch a hand

Right where I stand

My desire molds me

I’m who I should be

I follow God’s word

Cause it’s all I’ve heard

I ignore naysayers

As I say my prayers

And I let go

Of what doesn’t grow

My desire is pure

It makes me feel secure

I see my purpose

Come to the surface

As I embrace God’s plan

Cause He said I can

I look, listen and learn

For peace I yearn

My desire appears every day

In a very special way

Everything’s set in stone

I’m never left alone

Cause my soul’s been set on fire

By my desire

For The Most Part



For the most part
The world sees my heart
It continues to beat
Where God and I meet
I raise my voice
As I continue to rejoice
And I take a stand
While holding God’s hand

For the most part
I share a love
Sent by heaven above
Faith is the key
It brings out the best in me
I continue to grow
As I share what I know
I keep God close
Cause He matters most
I move without fear
Cause God is always near
Everything’s set in stone
I’m never left alone
And that’s where I start
For the most part

In The Rain

As I walk in the rain

I see what I gain

The blessing before me

The thing that’s meant to be

I see God’s grace

Taking me to a different place

And I see lessons

As they become confessions

As I walk in the rain

I embark on a journey

Ordained by God only

I let it show

Cause it helps me grow

I stumble along the way

But I continue to pray

I will reveal

What my heart can’t conceal

As I walk in the rain

I learn to trust God

With a wink and a mod

He directs my footsteps

And that’s as good as it gets

I take my time

While still in my prime

I’m on solid ground

I’ll spread the joy I found

While walking in the rain
