When The Morning Comes

When the morning comes

We say a silent prayer

Thanking God for being there

We embrace a new day

In our own special way

We prepare for a journey

Meant for us only

We learn valuable lessons

That become heartfelt confessions

We find something new

We change our point our view

We remember who we are

As we reach for a star

We embrace the love

That comes from heaven above

We hear a word

That’s the best we’ve heard

We lift one voice

As we begin to rejoice

And we let go of the past

As we make every moment last

When the morning comes

We let go of fear

Cause God almighty is near

We see what we’ll gain

Through heartache and pain

We find a place

Filled with mercy and grace

We feel God’s affection

As well as protection

We see what’s in stone

God never leaves us alone

We learn to sit still

As we accept God’s will

We continue to grow

As we share what we know

We hold each other close

Cause our bond matters most

We take every moment with us

Cause in God we trust

And we look at our hearts

Where everything starts

When the morning comes

Wings Of Love

We’re on the wings of love

They come from heaven above

They appear every day

As God paves the way

They strengthen our bond

From here and beyond

They show the purpose

Rising to the surface

They make us see

We’re meant to be

They show the seeds planted

All the blessings granted

The journey we embraced

The obstacles we faced

And God’s undeniable will

As we sit perfectly still

We’re on the wings of love

Looking at heaven above

We hold each other close

Cause love matters most

All the dreams we dare

Show God is there

Our hearts beat as one

Until the day is done

We learn as we go

We share what we know

We make the moment last

Despite our difficult past

We have something pure

We feel safe and secure

We do a lover’s dance

When we get a chance

We embrace God’s affection

As well as protection

We keep our faith near

It removes our fear

We hold God’s hand

Right where we stand

We stand on solid ground

We share the joy we found

Every touch is real

Too difficult to conceal

And we look at heaven above

While we’re on the wings of love

Footprints

I see the footprints of time

As I remember my prime

They show all my days

How I changed my ways

The tears I cried

How hard I tried

The blessings that came

How I let go of shame

The silent prayer

That showed God was there

What I knew was real

What my heart can’t conceal

The woman in me

What’s truly meant to be

What’s set in stone

Why God won’t leave me alone

The reason I smile

And why the smile last awhile

I see the footprints of time

They show who I adore

What fills me to the core

My second chance

My victory dance

The journey I embrace

My safe and secure space

The lessons I learned

The stripes I earned

The strength I gain

Through heartache and pain

The voice I raise

During songs of praise

The heart that beats

Where God and I meet

The things I favor

The moments I savor

How I sit still

As I accept God’s will

The next chapter

My joy and laughter

And what makes sense

As I look at my footprints

True Love

We share every day

In a very special way

We hold each other close

Cause bonding matters most

We embrace the journey

Ordained by God only

We ignore our naysayers

As we say our prayers

Knowing God is with us

In Him we trust

We’ve let go

Of things we used to know

We’ve built something pure

We feel safe and secure

The seeds have been planted

A blessing has been granted

And in heaven above

We found true love

Every moment is real

Something we can’t conceal

We look in each other’s eyes

And it’s no surprise

As we sit still

This is God’s will

Every tender touch

Means so much

Every kiss we share

Shows God is there

We follow the light

That shines day and night

We join hands

Right where God stands

We have a treasure

Beyond all measure

We share many things

We see what life brings

We will go far

As we reach for a star

What we have will last

Despite our difficult past

Cause in heaven above

We found true love

Family

Mother, father, brothers and sisters

They appear everywhere

They always show they care

They fill every day

In a very special way

They are a blessing at the core

They offer us so much more

They give us strength

Whenever we talk at length

They’re worth more than gold

They offer a hand to hold

They teach us principles

As God performs small miracles

They share the love

That comes from heaven above

They offer something pure

They make us feel secure

They share the journey

Meant for us only

They keep us on track

They give us what we lack

They offer a safe space

As we run our race

They share the dreams

That make us burst at the seams

They take us far

Without leaving a scar

They show our purpose

Lying at the surface

They make us smile

Even laugh a little while

They love us unconditionally

We call them family
