A Thousand Words

If I had a thousand words

I’d make life grand

By spreading them across the land

I’d offer words of love

Like heaven above

I’d let the world know

How it can grow

I’d strengthen the weak

With the words I speak

And I would pray

Each and every day

If I had a thousand words

I’d share my pain

I’d share what I’ll gain

I’d set the world free

By just being me

I’d instill peace

No one would release

I’d be the guide

No one would hide

Life would be set in stone

Cause God wouldn’t leave us alone

I’d be the light

That makes dark days bright

I’d be very true

No matter what we do

And I’d find a place

Filled with guidance and grace

If I had a thousand words

Sunny Days

Warm sunny days

Appear in many ways

They remind us of love

Sent from heaven above

They take us to a place

Filled with God’s grace

They let us see

What’s meant to be

They offer peace of mind

That’s difficult to find

And they are the purpose

We see rising to the surface

Sunny days are warm and pure

They make us feel secure

They provide solid ground

No matter who’s around

They are the moments we share

And the dreams we dare

They fill us to the core

Then offer us more

They are the bond

That takes us to love and beyond

And they are the voice

We use when we rejoice

Sunny days travel

While letting nothing unravel

They show what we’ll gain

Through heartache and pain

They are the word

We’ve always heard

They are what we reveal

And what we don’t conceal

They are God’s hand

Moving across the land

And what we take

As memories we make

In several ways

They are sunny days

Beautiful

Our love transcends time

We remember it in our prime

We take our stance

Then do a lovers dance

We take a look around

See all the joy we found

And we know

We’re destined to grow

Fear has gone away

Faith makes every day

We hold each other close

Cause that matters most

What we share

Is tender loving care

We’ll never forget

We haven’t arrived yet

We count every blessing

Without a lot of stressing

We simply smile

Cause it last awhile

We follow God’s lead

It helps us succeed

We feel God’s power

Each and every hour

Every step we take

Is a memory we can make

That’s saying a mouthful

And everything is beautiful

Footprints

I see my footprints

They show the journey

Ordained by God only

They show the way

I cherish every day

They take me to a place

Filled with God’s grace

They show the purpose

Lying at the surface

They show the dreams

That burst at the seams

They show every blessing

I counted without stressing

They show the pain

They show what I can gain

They show my pride

They show what I can’t hide

They show my fears

They show my tears

They show God’s hand

They show where I stand

They show the voice

I use when I rejoice

They show the power

I feel every hour

They show what I can take

They show the memories I can make

They show the kiss

I always miss

And I see where I can go

And all I know

In my footprints

Everlasting

He brightens every day

He shows us the way

He wipes every tear

He removes every fear

He holds us close

Cause we matter most

He protects and provides

His care He never hides

He is faithful and true

Despite what we go through

He offers solid ground

No matter who’s around

His love is everlasting

He sets the pace

For our daily race

He makes us see

What’s truly meant to be

He delivers a word

That deserves to be heard

Right or wrong

He keeps us strong

His tender touch

Means so much

Nothing can compare

To the bond we share

His heart is real

Something He doesn’t conceal

His love is everlasting
