Lessons

Lessons appear every day

Lessons will show you the way

Lessons are the seed God planted

Lessons shouldn’t be taken for granted

Lessons keep you awake

Lessons are the steps you take

Lessons are very real

Lessons are what the heart can’t conceal

Be they right or wrong

Lessons keep you strong

Lessons fill your soul

Lessons make you whole

Lessons are warm and pure

Lessons make you feel secure

Lessons are what you see

Lessons are who you should be

Lessons are the place

Filled with God’s grace

Lessons are pure gold

Lessons are the story to be told

Lessons are nothing to fear

Lessons hold you near

Lessons set you apart

Lessons are in your heart

What you call confessions

Are actually lessons

Dark Days

We have dark days

They appear in many ways

They try to bring us down

They turn a smile into a frown

They can take us off course

While showing no remorse

They can instill fear

When we don’t know who’s near

They can make us cry

They can make us ask why

They can make us stand still

Make us forget God’s will

They can hurt the soul

As we try to become whole

They can leave us frozen in time

Make us forget our prime

They can cut to the core

Hurt what we adore

But faith is the key

To being the best we can be

God works consistently

He loves unconditionally

He watches us day and night

He’s a guiding light

When we fall

On Him we can call

So in many ways

He can brighten dark days

Footprints In The Sand

I see footprints in the sand

Laying all across the land

I see where I’ve traveled

I see the faith that never unraveled

I see the purpose that was clear

I see everything I hold dear

I see the love I feel

I see what my heart can’t conceal

And the silent prayer

That is always there

I see footprints in the sand

As I hold God’s hand

I see the touch

That means so much

I see the lessons

That turn into confessions

I see the place

Filled with guidance and grace

I see my power

Growing by the hour

I see footprints in the sand

I see what rings true

I see what I’ve been through

I see the dreams

That made me burst at the seams

I see my heart

And where my journey will start

I see the day

Blessings came my way

And I’ll hold God’s hand

As I look at footprints in the sand

In The Moment

In the moment I wake

God sees what I can take

He sends me on a journey

Meant for me only

He brightens the day

In a special way

He offers tender loving care

Which I gladly share

And I gain strength

After talking with Him at length

In the moment I travel

The truth starts to unravel

I begin to grow

As I share what I know

Nothing means much more

The lessons fill me to the core

I see faith as the key

To being all I can be

And life gets better

Cause I embrace it to the letter

In the moment I fear

God I still revere

He brings me to a place

Filled with guidance and grace

He gives me a hand to hold

Now my story will be told

He stays by my side

My joy I can’t hide

I learn to smile

The smile lasted a while

God’s guiding light I follow

Cause it doesn’t seem hollow

It turns me around

Puts me on solid ground

Nothing stays the same

I learn my name

In the moment

I Remember You

I remember you

You were my dream come true

You shared your love

If felt like heaven above

You showed me the way

To a brighter day

You were my blessing

I embraced it without stressing

And you made me see

What was meant to be

I remember you

You were a sight to behold

You were the story I told

You planted the seed

That led to a good deed

You held me close

When it mattered most

You were the guiding light

That followed me day and night

You offered me peace

That I’ll never release

You were the purpose

I saw rising to the surface

It goes where I go

It’s all I know

The memories get me through

And I remember you
