Behind the smile

Lies stories that last a while

There’s a long history

And not a lot of mystery

There are lessons

And many confessions

There’s a loving God

I give Him a wink and a nod

And life in it’s splendor

My joy I’ll never surrender

Behind the smile

Lies plenty of peace

That I don’t want to release

There’s a purpose

Rising to the surface

There’s a guide

Which I cannot hide

There’s a day

I cherish in every way

And a light in my eyes

That should come as no surprise

There’s a long road

And a story to be told

So it’ll take a while

To discuss what’s behind the smile

I need some tender love

As seen in heaven above

A love warm and pure

One that makes me feel secure

A love that will last

One different from the one I had in the past

A love that’s real

A love I can’t conceal

A love that’s true

One with a different point of view

I need some tender love

Different from the rest

One that’ll put me to the test

A love that’s sincere

A love that removes fear

A love that’s sweet

A love that isn’t discrete

A love for each day

A love that will show me the way

A love that stands

Right where it lands

A love on solid ground

No matter who’s around

So I’ll continue searching above

For a tender love

Keep the faith. Setbacks always turn into comebacks.

You are about to receive everything you’ve been praying for.

The brave heart

Takes a chance

It does a victory dance

It follows God

With a wink and a nod

It offers a prayer

Cause it knows God is there

It offers love

As sent by heaven above

It takes a journey

Meant for growth only

It learns as it goes

It shares what it knows

And it knows where to start

The brave heart

My faith is near and dear

It makes confusing moments clear

It has become a guide

My gratitude I can’t hide

It provides solid ground

No matter who’s around

Love is near and dear

It’s what God made clear

I take it with me

So others can see

It offers hope

On a wider scope

The journey is near and dear

It shows I have nothing to fear

It feeds my soul

It makes me whole

I never doubt it

I talk about it

Life is near and dear

I see its splendor

My joy I won’t surrender

I learn from the past

I make every moment last

Each and every day

Is held up in a special way

Peace is near and dear

It makes me smile

And laugh awhile

It’s something to share

To show I care

It travels

It never unravels

And it should be clear

What I hold near and dear

Never underestimate the power of prayer.

Relax. God has worked everything out.

You’ve seen the best and worst of me

You’ve shown me what can be

You’ve been a guiding light

You’ve made every wrong right

Every moment with you

Is sweeter than morning dew

You appear in my dreams

As strange as it seems

And nothing can compare

To what we share

I feel no strife

So I’ll love you for life

We’ve stayed side by side

My joy I can’t hide

You hold me close

When I need it most

Every day gets better

I love our life to the letter

You give me peace of mind

Which is hard to find

I stand on solid ground

Because of what I’ve found

I feel no strife

So I’ll love you for life

From these roots

I quickly rise

It should come as no surprise

It was God’s plan

He reveals what He can

There’s a purpose

Rising to the surface

A blessing comes every day

I cherish it in every way

And there’s a journey

Meant for me only

From these roots comes love

As sent by heaven above

It’s very real

It’s something my heart can’t conceal

There are lessons

And there are confessions

There are things I explore

Things I adore

And there’s a smile

That last awhile

There’s nothing I lack

Faith brings it back

I don’t have to scream and shout

God works things out

My heart rises

And it reveals surprises

From these roots
