You Cried

You cried day and night

Until you saw a guiding light

You cried for a love

That comes from heaven above

You cried for a way

To cherish every day

You cried for a peace

Your heart won’t release

You cried for blessings

That come without stressing

You cried for solid ground

That would turn your life around

You cried so you could see

What’s truly meant to be

You cried for dreams

That make you burst at the seams

You cried for a plan

God will reveal when He can

You cried for a touch

That means so much

You cried for a place

Filled with mercy and grace

You cried for time

As you remembered your prime

You cried for a new chapter

Filled with joy and laughter

You cried for your soul

And what would make you whole

You cried for the journey

Meant for you only

You cried for God’s power

Hour after hour

You cried for seeds

That lead to good deeds

You cried near and far

As you reached for a star

You cried for the kiss

You knew you’d miss

And for what you can’t hide

You cried

The Awakening

Waking to a new day

Cherishing it in every way

Lifting one voice

As we begin to rejoice

Embracing every journey

Meant for us only

Carrying life lessons with us

Knowing in God we trust

Standing very tall

God answering every call

Finding our purpose

Lying at the surface

Feeling the love

That comes from heaven above

Holding hands

Right where God stands

Knowing every step we take

Is a memory we’ll make

Listening to God’s word

Cause it’s the best we’ve heard

Counting blessings granted

Watering the seeds we’ve planted

Feeling God’s power

Hour after hour

Feeling God’s protection

As well as affection

Faith setting things in stone

Knowing God won’t leave us alone

Finding solid ground

Sharing the joy we found

Sharing our dreams

Until we burst at the seams

Trying to reveal

What our hearts can’t conceal

Ignoring our naysayers

As we say our prayers

Following a light

That shines day and night

Letting our souls glow

From what we know

Gaining strength

When we talk with God at length

Letting go of fear

Cause God is always near

Is easy to see

That’s the way things should be

The awakening

Your Eyes

Your eyes hypnotize

They offer no surprise

They say what you feel

They reveal what’s real

They are the love

I feel from heaven above

They stay so true

To what you do

They are the power

I feel hour after hour

They are the strength

I feel when we talk at length

They set things in stone

They never leave me alone

And they offer a peace

I simply can’t release

Your eyes are so pure

They make me feel secure

They are the way

I live every day

They fill my soul

They make me whole

They hold me close

Cause I matter most

They are the journey

Meant for me only

They show God is there

They offer tender loving care

They offer solid ground

They are the joy I’ve found

They make me see

What’s truly meant to be

They move my heart

Where love should start

They ease my pain

They show what I’ll gain

They help me stand

As I hold your hand

They let me know

How I can grow

They are the purpose

I saw rise to the surface

They offer no surprise

Your eyes

Rise

We go through every day

Trying to live the right way

We stumble here and there

But we know God is there

Naysayers doubt us

Trust in God is a must

We work through our fear

Our faith doesn’t disappear

We take one step at a time

While still in our prime

God holds us close

Cause we matter most

Every day is a lesson

That will become a confession

We look for something true

God always carries us through

So it’s no surprise

When we rise

We feel very insecure

Yet we feel so sure

We know where to go

Life helps us grow

We wait for a plan

God will reveal when He can

Our journey is set in stone

God won’t leave us alone

We make every moment last

As we learn from our past

We sit perfectly still

As we accept God’s will

It doesn’t take long

To see where we belong

We learn to rejoice

When we hear God’s voice

Prayer is the guide

That stays by our side

We get filled to the core

God offers us more

We cherish blessings granted

We water the seeds we planted

So it’s no surprise

When we rise

Love Land

Welcome to love land

Where God takes a stand

He fills every day

In His own special way

He is a guiding light

That shines day and night

He offers strength

When we talk with Him at length

He fills the soul

He makes life whole

He offers a word

That’s the best we’ve heard

He sets things in stone

He’ll never leave us alone

He is the voice

That makes us rejoice

Welcome to love land

As we walk hand in hand

God has a plan

He’ll reveal when He can

He’ll show us how to live

He’ll show us how to give

He’ll hold us close

Cause we matter most

He’ll remove all doubt

As He works things out

He is the power

We feel hour after hour

He can see our hearts

Right where love starts

He’ll pick us up

He’ll fill our cup

He stands on principles

As He performs small miracles

He offers affection

And plenty of protection

He makes the heart sing

We see what life can bring

Take a stand

And welcome to love land

Tears

I feel the tears fall

As God answers my call

They make me feel

What I know is real

They make me see

What’s truly meant to be

They are what I gain

Through heartache and pain

They are the lessons

That turn into confessions

They fill every day

In their own special way

They help me stand

As I hold God’s hand

They are the light

I follow day and night

I feel the tears fall

It’s not unusual at all

They are the guide

I simply cannot hide

They offer something pure

They make me feel secure

They are hard to hold

They are a story untold

They are the journey

Meant for me only

They show what I can take

With every step I make

They give me strength

As I talk with God at length

They take me to a place

Filled with mercy and grace

They help me let go

Of the things I used to know

They are one of a kind

They ease my mind

They can set things in stone

They never leave me alone

They can remove my fears

I can feel them tears
