He Is

He is a gift

That gives us a lift

He is the love

That comes from above

He is the peace

We simply can’t release

He is the power

We feel hour after hour

He is the voice

We hear when we rejoice

He is the solid ground

We’re glad we’ve found

He is a place

Filled with mercy and grace

He is something to behold

He is the story we’ve told

He is our strength

We feel it at length

He is peace of mind

Something hard to find

He is something pure

He makes us feel secure

He is the seed

That’s a blessing indeed

He is our affection

As well as our protection

He is our soul

He makes life whole

He is the way

We live every day

He is the smile

That last a little while

He is the journey

Meant for us only

He is the pride

We simply cannot hide

He is the song

That keeps us strong

He is the reason

For every season

He is

Sitting Still

I’m sitting still

As I accept God’s will

I hear His voice in the distance

I offer no resistance

I think of blessings granted

I think of seeds I’ve planted

I think of better days

How I changed my ways

A love so true

What God brought me through

How I fall and rise again

How God teaches me to win

All the love I know

Ways I’ve learned to grow

I’m sitting still

As I accept God’s will

It takes me to a place

Filled with mercy and grace

Fear begins to fade

I see the progress I’ve made

I embark on a new journey

Meant for me only

I stay fully aware

Of God’s tender loving care

I learn to smile

Even laugh a little while

I see the steps I take

I see the memories I make

My voice I raise

In a song of praise

I hold God’s hand

Right where I stand

I hear my mouth reveal

What my heart can’t conceal

I get filled to the core

As God offers me more

And I’m sitting still

As I accept God’s will

Separate Ways

We’ve given all our days

In so many ways

The moments we shared

Showed how much we cared

We danced to one heartbeat

Where every soul should meet

We knew the love was real

Much too difficult to conceal

It traveled far

Without leaving a scar

It was for all to see

It was meant to be

It made us strong

Whether we were right or wrong

Then after those days

We went our separate ways

We embraced a journey

Meant for two only

God planted the seed

To a blessing indeed

We held hands

Right where love stands

The journey took us everywhere

The hand of God was there

We couldn’t deny

We didn’t even ask why

We had a bond

From here and beyond

It helped shape us

We knew who to trust

We ran our race

At our own pace

It removed our fear

God almighty was near

We were in our zone

God never left us alone

We took time

To remember our prime

It made us smile

Even laugh a little while

Then after those days

We went our separate ways

Precious

You make every day

Special in your own way

You are the light

We follow day and night

You hold others close

Cause love matters most

You are warm and kind

You offer peace of mind

You are a sight to behold

You’re a story untold

You make others see

What’s truly meant to be

You give others strength

When they talk with you at length

You take a stand

With one touch of your hand

You’re smile is infectious

And you are precious

You plant seeds

That lead to good deeds

You set things in stone

God never leaves you alone

The world can feel you

It sees what you do

There’s nothing to declare

Your heart is always there

You are the journey

Meant for us only

You stay close to God

Give Him a wink and nod

You give others a chance

To do a victory dance

You offer a place

Filled with guidance and grace

You know what to keep

We listen when you speak

You know what’s real

Your heart you don’t conceal

Your smile is infectious

And you are precious
