Summer Rain

We walked in the summer rain

Cause we knew what we’d gain

The love was real

Something we couldn’t conceal

We took our stance

Before doing a lover’s dance

We didn’t have a care

We had so much to share

The rain continued to fall

But we knew all in all

It was meant to be

God’s plan we could see

We embraced the time

Cause we were in our prime

We were on solid ground

We knew what we found

We kept going

All while knowing

One thing to be true

And what God can do

Love we can gain

In the summer rain

Depth Of My Soul

The depth of my soul

Is grateful and whole

It embraces God’s way

It prays every day

My soul sings

It sees joy in the wings

And right or wrong

It remains strong

The depth of my soul

Carries no fear or doubt

I know what I’m about

My soul’s on a journey

Meant for me only

My soul spreads love

Just like heaven above

As it sees purpose

Rising to the surface

The depth of my soul

Is easy to see

It’s the very heart of me

It laughs and cries

It’s intelligent and wise

It sees all

It answers God’s call

And at it’s core

It does so much more

Yes, it’s whole

The depth of my soul

Still Standing

I’ve been through the fire

Down to the wire

I’ve been shamed

I’ve been defamed

I’ve been scorned

I’ve had my heart torn

I’ve gotten lost

At a very high cost

But I’m still standing

I’ve struggled with doubt

Couldn’t work things out

I’ve fallen time and time again

Not knowing I could win

I’ve been betrayed

My heart has strayed

I’ve been used and abused

And totally confused

But I’m still standing

I couldn’t see

What I was meant to be

I thought fate was wrong

But I remained strong

Each and every lesson

Became a confession

Life hasn’t been fair

But God’s been there

And I’m still standing

,

All Through The Night

All through the night

I follow my guiding light

As I kneel in prayer

I feel God’s presence everywhere

It’s something warm and pure

It makes me feel secure

I gain strength as needed

And see where I succeeded

I see the next day

In a different way

My purpose is clear

And I hold it dear

I can see the journey

As ordained by God only

I see my power

Manifesting every hour

I see solid ground

I see joy can be found

I see where God stands

When we hold hands

I see greatness at the core

And I long to do more

I cherish every sight

All through the night
