Blessings

Blessings come from above

They’re a sign of God’s love

They’re delivered with care

They’re something we share

They appear every day

We cherish them in every way

They set things in stone

They show we’re never left alone

They are the key

To what’s truly meant to be

They remove our fear

They show God is near

They fill us to the core

Before God offers us more

They fill us with a pride

We simply cannot hide

They are the light

We follow day and night

They make sure we grow

As we share what we know

They are the seeds

That lead to good deeds

They offer something pure

They make us feel secure

They make us rejoice

When we hear God’s voice

They show what’s true

And how we made it through

The love we feel

What we know is real

The peace of mind

That’s too hard to find

Our solid ground

The joy we’ve found

They help us stop stressing

We called them blessings

Dark Days

Dark days

Come to us in many ways

Moments filled with fear

While not knowing God is near

Moments we are unsure

Moments we feel insecure

Moments we sit and cry

And then wonder why

Moments we fall

Before God answers our call

Moments we try to find

Some peace of mind

Moments we run a race

At our own pace

Dark days

They come and go

They’re all we know

They cause some pain

Before we see what we’ll gain

They impact the soul

Before God makes us whole

They tear at the heart

Before we get a new start

They’re always there

Before God answers a prayer

They appear in every dream

Strange thought it may seem

They reach solid ground

Before we turn things around

They are the key

To where our faith should be

We’ll get stronger

As our days get longer

Cause in many ways

We’ll have some dark days

Starry Eyes

The starry eyes

Look at heaven above

They seem full of love

They pray to God

They offer a wink and nod

They observe all they can

They see God’s plan

They see the lessons

That become heartfelt confessions

They watch God perform miracles

As He stands on principles

They focus on the light

That shines day and night

And they move without fear

Cause they know God is near

The starry eyes

See a divine purpose

Rising to the surface

They embark on a journey

Meant for them only

They ignore the naysayers

As God answers prayers

They marvel at what they see

Cause it’s meant to be

They travel far

As they reach for a star

They see God’s power

Hour after hour

They rest on solid ground

They share the joy they found

They’re filled to the core

Before God offers them more

They embrace every blessing

Without a lot of stressing

They twinkle every day

In a very special way

There’s no surprise

We see starry eyes

Lover’s Dance

We took to the floor

Nothing meant more

We held each other close

Cause our bond meant most

We moved as one

The moment was second to none

God planted the seed

To a blessing indeed

We felt the rhythm for sure

It made us feel secure

Every tender touch

Meant so much

We stood on solid ground

We shared the joy we found

By happenstance

We did a lover’s dance

We gave each other a smile

It lasted quite a while

We continued to move

Cause we had nothing to prove

Our union was a plan

God reveals when He can

The music lifted us up

It filled our cup

It took us to a place

Filled with mercy and grace

We learned what was real

And too difficult to conceal

We looked at our hearts

Saw where everything starts

We shared a kiss

We simply couldn’t resist

We learned from the past

We made the moment last

We shared every day

In our own special way

We held hands

Right where faith stands

We looked at heaven above

We were full of love

And by happenstance

We did a lover’s dance

Seven Days

It’s been seven days of love

Sent from heaven above

Seven days of peace

I know I’ll never release

Seven days of purpose

Rising to the surface

Seven days of a light

I follow day and night

Seven days of the voice

That makes me rejoice

Seven days of a plan

God reveals when He can

Seven days of what’s true

And how God brought me through

Seven days of healing

That I won’t be concealing

Seven days my heart

Gave me a start

Seven days I’m sure

Seven days I feel safe and secure

Seven days of laughter

Seven days of a new chapter

Seven days I’m not alone

Seven days things are set in stone

Seven days filled with affection

And plenty of protection

Seven days without fear

Knowing God is always near

Seven days I’m filled to the core

Then offered much more

Seven days of power

I feel hour after hour

Seven days of solid ground

And the joy I found

Seven days of blessings

Without a lot of stressing

Seven days of a touch

That means so much

We accept God’s ways

All seven days

Hand In Hand

We share every day

In a very special way

God provides for us

In Him we trust

We move without fear

Cause our faith is near

We share a love

Sent by heaven above

We hold each other close

Cause our bond matters most

We’ve planted the seed

To a blessing indeed

God shares the journey

Meant for us only

As we stand

And walk hand in hand

We listen to the voice

That makes us rejoice

We learn as we go

We share what we know

We share a peace

We’ll never release

We ignore our naysayers

As we say our prayers

We can clearly see

What’s meant to be

We’ve traveled far

To reach our star

Our love is true

Faith brought us through

We’ve stood on our own

Look at how we’ve grown

We’re filled with a pride

We simply cannot hide

We’ve taken the time

To remember our prime

We’ve given as good as we get

With very little regret

We’re in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

And we know where we stand

As we walk hand in hand
