Long Way

We’ve come a long way

We celebrate every day

The moments we share

The dreams we dare

Are part of a journey

Meant for us only

We think of every time

We enjoyed our prime

Our hearts were all aglow

Experience taught us what we know

We were sincere

Cause God almighty was near

We took a walk

We began to talk

We began to smile

It lasted awhile

Until we began again

We knew we’d win

We traveled far

Without getting a scar

And all we can say

Is we’ve come a long way

The Spirit

The spirit moves every day

The spirit shows the way

It’s the blessings we see

It’s where we should be

The spirit keeps us strong

The spirit teaches right and wrong

It’s God’s plan

He reveals it when He can

And the spirit is real

It’s what the heart can’t conceal

The spirit is God’s word

It’s the best we’ve ever heard

The spirit is a guide

Our gratitude we can’t hide

The spirit is easy to find

It offers peace of mind

The spirit is solid ground

It’s the joy we’ve found

The spirit leaves a smile

That last awhile

The spirit glows

The spirit knows

And it’s a gift

That gives us a lift

As long as we’re in it

The spirit

Set In Stone

We go through each day

Counting blessings along the way

We’re always sure

Of what makes us feel secure

We talk with God as we go

His guidance lets us know

He’s always there

With tender loving care

He acts as a guide

Our gratitude we can’t hide

God never leaves us alone

And everything’s set in stone

We face naysayers

As we say our prayers

The comments we ignore

Cause we’re filled to the core

We never doubt

That God will work things out

We take the journey

Meant for us only

No need to explain

What we will gain

God will never leave us along

And everything’s set in stone

We look ahead

Without an ounce of dread

We see where we are

And how God healed every scar

Right or wrong

Faith kept us strong

We see solid ground

And all the joy we found

Our purpose is clear

There’s nothing to fear

Cause God will never leave us alone

And everything’s set in stone

The Comeback

I’ve been through the fire

Down to the wire

I’ve traveled a long road

While carrying a heavy load

I’ve gotten lost

Without knowing the cost

Naysayers doubted me

But I began to see

A different way

And a brand new day

I’ve stayed awake

Wondering what I could take

I’ve searched my heart

Wondering where to start

I’ve known sadness

I’ve seen madness

And wondered if I’d last

Despite my difficult past

I’ve felt heartache and pain

While wondering what I’d gain

Then I woke

I listened as God spoke

He made clear

That my destiny is near

He took me to a place

Filled with guidance and grace

It was a gift

Guaranteed to uplift

I didn’t focus on what I lack

Cause I was in the midst of the comeback
