Rejoice

God sees what we go through

He knows what to do

We pray every day

As we see God’s way

We see what’s real

Too difficult to conceal

We follow the light

We see day and night

We struggle with fear

Until we see God standing near

We search for something pure

What will make us feel secure

Before God plants the seed

To a blessing indeed

And we turn and smile

For just a little while

Then lift one voice

And begin to rejoice

We go through every journey

Meant for us only

We see our purpose

Lying at the surface

We let go of doubt

As God works things out

We continue forging ahead

Without an ounce of dread

We learn to love

As we look at heaven above

We get filled to the core

Before God offers us more

We gain strength

As we talk at length

We fall and rise again

God teaches us to win

We start a new chapter

Filled with joy and laughter

We begin to see

What’s truly meant to be

And we lift one voice

Then begin to rejoice

Time After Time

We share every day

We love in every way

We hold each other close

Like our bond matters most

We let go of fear

Cause God almighty is near

We see what’s in stone

We’re never left alone

We hold hands

Right where love stands

We plant seeds

That lead to good deeds

And we find our purpose

Lying at the surface

While still in our prime

Time after time

We look at each other and smile

The smile last quite awhile

We count every blessing

Without a lot of stressing

We remember who we are

As we reach for a star

Every moment is real

Too difficult to conceal

We take nothing for granted

Our view isn’t slanted

We found a treasure

Beyond all measure

Worth more than gold

It’s something to behold

We embrace this journey

It’s meant for us only

We lift every voice

As we begin to rejoice

We share a kiss

Too hard to resist

We rest in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

We sit perfectly still

We know this is God’s will

And we learn as we go

We share what we know

While still in our prime

Time after time

Sad Eyes

Sad eyes

I see you cry

As you wonder why

You search your soul

For what will make you whole

You continue to pray

As you get through the day

You wonder what you’ll gain

Through your heartache and pain

You search for a light

You can follow day and night

You just keep going

All while knowing

You’ll find something rare

Showing God is there

You continue to stumble

But experience makes you humble

You can’t see

What’s truly meant to be

Sad eyes

I see your journey

It’s meant for you only

It’s the purpose

Lying at the surface

You wonder how you’ll sit still

As you accept God’s will

You try desperately to learn

Your stripes you’ll earn

You struggle with fear

Not knowing God is near

You remember your past

You make every moment last

You search for solid ground

What will turn your life around

You travel far

To reach a star

You wonder what’s true

How you’ll make it through

You learn to stand

As you hold God’s hand

To no one’s surprise

Sad eyes

Mama Said

Mama said learn to love

Just like heaven above

Mama said find peace

Your heart won’t release

She said continue to pray

Cherish every day

Mama said learn to see

What’s truly meant to be

Mama said God is always near

So let go of your fear

Mama said find your purpose

Lying at the surface

Mama said faith is a guide

You should keep by your side

Mama said God is real

He knows what to reveal

Mama said hold each other close

Cause bonding matters most

Mama said remember who you are

As you reach for a star

Mama said planted seeds

Lead to good deeds

Mama said you’ll reach your peak

When you hear God speak

Mama said His word

Is the best you’ve heard

Mama said solid ground

Will turn your life around

Mama said cherish special things

And the joy life brings

Mama said take the time

To remember your prime

Mama said share the dreams

That make you burst at the seams

Mama said learn life lessons

That become heartfelt confessions

Mama said give as good as you get

With very little regret

Mama said embrace your journey

It’s meant for you only
