Turn Around

I’ve traveled awfully far

While healing every scar

Life hasn’t been fair

But God is always there

I’ve been through the fire

Down to the wire

I’ve been shamed

I’ve been defamed

I’ve been neglected

I’ve been rejected

But each and every day

I continue to pray

Naysayers I ignore

As I collect miracles galore

Whenever I’m weak

I listen to God speak

I continue to stumble

But experience makes me humble

When I begin to embrace fear

I see God standing near

One look in His eye

And I understand why

Right or wrong

Life will make me strong

I stand on solid ground

Knowing there’s always a chance

For a turn around

Love Light

I see a love light

It shines day and night

It feels like morning dew

It makes me think of you

It warms my heart

It shows me where to start

It helps me grow

It shares what I know

It shows where you stand

As you hold my hand

And it let’s me feel God’s power

Hour upon hour

I see a love light

I embrace it day and night

It shows tender loving care

It shows the bond we share

As we hold each other close

Like love matters most

It comforts and guides me

It shows what’s meant to be

It shows we can go far

By reaching for a star

It fills me with pride

I don’t want to hide

It reduces fear

Whenever you’re near

And day and night

I’ll bask in the love light

Walking In The Rain

I’m walking in the rain

Without stress and strain

I say a silent prayer

I see God standing there

He takes me by the hand

As He tells me where to stand

I begin a journey

Meant for me only

I embrace everything I see

Cause the trip touches me

I begin to learn as well

I’ll have a story to tell

Nothing ever felt so good

God does what I knew He would

I’m walking in the rain

Nothing stays the same

I’ve finally learned my name

I reflect on the past

And how some said I wouldn’t last

I see every blessing granted

My view isn’t slanted

It makes me proud

I praise God out loud

I see what I can take

I see the memories I’ll make

And I’ll continue walking in the rain

Without a bit of strain

The Empty Room

As we enter the empty room

We see God standing there

We kneel in prayer

God performs a miracle

Just on sheer principle

One voice we raise

In a song of praise

Our joy is hard to deny

So no one ask why

We learn as we go

We share what we know

And we find a place

Filled with guidance and grace

As we enter the empty room

We reach our peak

The moment we hear God speak

We hold hands

Right where love stands

We take one step at a time

While still in our prime

What we gain

Is worth the stress and strain

We find good news

We stop singing the blues

We learn who we are

While reaching for a star

And we let go of gloom

As we enter the empty room

Pretty Baby

Pretty baby

Grew into a lady

People don’t know

What helped you grow

Pretty baby

You face every day

In your own special way

You follow a guiding light

You pray every night

You always make it through

God takes good care of you

You embark on every journey

Ordained by God only

Every step you take

Is a memory you can make

Pretty baby

Grew into a lady

The world will never know

How life made you grow

Your life lessons

Have become heartfelt confessions

Faith heals your soul

God makes you whole

The world can see

Who you were meant to be

You share your love

As sent by heaven above

And you never walk alone

In your love zone

Whenever you’re weak

You listen to God speak

You found your purpose

Lying at the surface

You move with style and grace

While running your race

And sit still

As you accept God’s will

You’ll leave a mark

Because you’re sure

And you feel secure

Pretty baby

Emotions

Emotions run night and day

They move in their own way

Happiness, sadness and more

Emotions fill us to the core

Emotions are what we feel

As we learn what to reveal

They go from beginning to end

Emotions won’t let us pretend

Emotions can be a blessing

They can stop us from stressing

Emotions can take us far

Without leaving a scar

Emotions are the key

To being all we can be

Emotions can run high

Without us understanding why

Emotions make clear

What we hold dear

Emotions are rare

They prove God is there

Emotions are the voice

That make us rejoice

They have a certain ring

That means everything

They are solid ground

They are the joy we’ve found

Without any strange notions

We call them emotions
