Strength

Strength is talking to God

Then giving a wink and nod

Getting through each day

By accepting God’s way

Embracing every journey

Meant for you only

Facing naysayers

As you say your prayers

Learning how to live

Learning to give

And learning to rejoice

When you hear God’s voice

Strength is learning to care

Learning to share

Letting go of the gloom

Sitting in your room

Going through the fire

To obtain what you desire

Falling and rising again

Learning to win

Learning to see

What’s meant to be

Learning to reveal

What your heart can’t conceal

Talking to God at length

Takes strength

Rise

We travel every day

Trying to find our way

The road is long

But faith keeps us strong

The lessons we learn

Are worth the scars we earn

Although we stumble

Experience keeps us humble

We continue our fight

Morning, noon and night

We pray for strength

As we talk with God at length

So it comes as no surprise

When we rise

Life puts us to the test

We pass them like all the rest

We take one step at a time

While still in our prime

People count us out

But we have no doubt

We know where we stand

As we hold God’s hand

And it comes as no surprise

When we rise

Fading

My fear is fading

My truth I’m not trading

I’ve embarked on a journey

Meant for me only

It’s something to behold

My story will be told

God has filled me to the core

I couldn’t ask for more

I look forward to every day

My mind no one will sway

The joy in my heart

Gave me a new start

And my feet are planted

Where my blessings are granted

My weakness is fading

I gain strength

By talking to God at length

It offers me something pure

It makes me feel secure

He watches over me

He shows me who I can be

He provides a place

Filled with guidance and grace

The light in my eyes

Should come as no surprise

Cause my weakness is fading

Solid Ground

We’re here on solid ground

Let’s share the joy we found

We’ve been through the fire

We have what we desire

God paved the way

To a bright, sunny day

We’ve finally healed

Our purpose has been revealed

The journey has been long

But faith kept us strong

And the memories we made

Will never, ever fade

We’re on solid ground

God turned our lives around

We gain a renewed strength

When we talk to God at length

We’ve come this far

By reaching for a star

Everything’s set in stone

God won’t leave us alone

Through the heartache and pain

We see what we’ll gain

We wear a smile

That last awhile

And we’re happy we found

Solid ground
