We woke one day

With God providing a way

We didn’t know what we’d find

But we had peace of mind

The lessons we learned

Were worth the stripes we earned

Everything seemed surreal

Too difficult to conceal

Our hearts began to beat

Where faith and God meet

We went far

Without receiving a scar

We were so proud

We began to shout out loud

We found a place

Filled with mercy and grace

We looked around

Saw the joy we found

And wondered if it would last

Despite our difficult past

We stayed together

Despite some stormy weather

Nothing can compare

To the bond we share

We got what we expected

Nothing was rejected

We counted the blessings

That arrived without stressing

It didn’t take long

To see where we belong

It was meant to be

It’s all we can see

We found a treasure

Beyond all measure

It was something to behold

A story will be told

From beginning to end

And we won’t pretend

We keep moving along

Cause faith keeps us strong

It was meant for us only

The journey
