Rising

We face every day

We accept God’s way

Every moment is pure

We feel safe and secure

We embrace lessons

That become heartfelt confessions

We know what we feel

It’s too difficult to conceal

God planted the seeds

That led to good deeds

We embark on a journey

Meant for us only

We experience some pain

But we know what we’ll gain

We gain strength

By talking with God at length

We never fear

Cause He’s always near

We know what we hold

Our story will be told

It won’t take long

We know where we belong

With every moment we share

God will be there

We ignore naysayers

As we say our prayers

So it isn’t surprising

That we keep rising

We’re filled to the core

Unlike we’ve ever been before

We’ve come far

By reaching for a star

Some don’t understand

How we continue to stand

But it’s part of a plan

God reveals when He can

We continue to grow

As we share what we know

Nothing sways us

In God we trust

We take time

To remember our prime

Everything’s set in stone

God won’t leave us alone

We embrace our power

Hour after hour

So it isn’t surprising

That we keep rising

Peaceful Living

Seeing a brand new day

Accepting God’s way

Wearing a wide smile

Learning to laugh a while

Touching a hand

Right where you stand

Knowing what’s real

What’s too difficult to conceal

Following the light

You see day and night

Taking the time

To remember your prime

Learning to see

What’s truly meant to be

Embracing the journey

Meant for you only

Finding your purpose

Lying at the surface

Staying strong

Whether you’re right or wrong

Being filled to core

God giving you more

Finding a place

Filled with guidance and grace

Basking in blessings granted

Watering the seeds you planted

Being blessed by giving

Is peaceful living

So Faithful

God fills every day

In His own special way

He loves unconditionally

He watches us consistently

He is part of every journey

Meant for us only

He removes fear and doubt

As He works things out

He answers every prayer

He’s always there

He provides a place

Filled with guidance and grace

He heals the soul

He makes life whole

He is the power

We feel hour after hour

He sits on a throne

He never leaves us alone

He makes us smile

The smile last awhile

He holds us close

Cause we matter most

He never lets us forget

We can let go of regret

He knows what’s real

And what He refuses to conceal

He knows what to do

He carries us through

He never makes a mistake

He knows what we can take

He takes us far

Without leaving a scar

He teaches lessons

That become heartfelt confessions

He fills us to the core

Then offers us more

He is one of a kind

He offers peace of mind

We’re extremely grateful

Cause He’s so faithful

Next Time

Next time we’ll pray

We’ll cherish every day

Next time we’ll love

Like heaven above

Next time we’ll dance

When we get a second chance

Next time we’ll find solid ground

As we share the joy we found

Next time we’ll sit still

As we accept God’s will

Next time we’ll rejoice

When we hear God’s voice

Next time we’ll embrace

A place filled with grace

Next time we’ll see

What’s truly meant to be

Next time we’ll find purpose

Lying at the surface

Next time we’ll smile

Maybe laugh a little while

Next time we’ll hold each other close

Cause love matters most

Next time we’ll sing

About the joy God can bring

Next time we’ll find peace

We’ll never release

Next time

First Time

The first time we made love

It felt like heaven above

We held each other close

Cause love mattered most

We didn’t even pretend

The moment wouldn’t end

God planted the seed

To a blessing indeed

Every tender touch

Meant so much

Every tender kiss

Put us in a state of bliss

It was a journey

Meant for us only

The first time we made love

Felt like morning dew

God brought us through

Every brand new day

Was cherished in every way

We began to smile

The smile lasted awhile

Our hearts beat as one

Love was second to none

We found solid ground

We shared the joy we found

It was plain to see

We were meant to be

We found a special place

Filled with grace

The love was strong

We know where we belong

We took our time

While still in our prime

God was there

With tender loving care

We opened our hearts

Right where love starts

What we began to feel

We couldn’t conceal

We got a chance

To do a lover’s dance

We couldn’t stand still

It was God’s will

And we looked at heaven above

The first time we made love

Aglow

Our hearts are algow

Cause one thing we know

We’re blessed beyond measure

Life is a treasure

We cherish every day

In a very special way

We stay close to God

With a wink and nod

We hold hands

Right where love stands

We’re on a journey

Meant for us only

Life just gets better

We love to the letter

What we feel is real

Too difficult to conceal

And we learn to live

As we learn to give

Our souls are aglow

We rise and fall again

But we learn to win

We face our naysayers

As we say our prayers

God provides protection

And plenty of affection

We’ve found a place

Filled with guidance and grace

God is by our side

Our unbridled joy we can’t hide

It fills us to the core

As God gives us more

And that’s how we know

Our souls are aglow
