The Mountain

The mountain stands tall

Winter, spring, summer and fall

It’s the obstacles we face

As we run our race

It teaches us lessons

That become heartfelt confessions

It reveals our fears

Before we shed a few tears

Yet it keeps us strong

Whether we’re right or wrong

It’s a sign of motivation

We use without hesitation

It teaches us who we are

Without leaving a scar

It’s made of stone

Yet it shows we’re not alone

It keeps us going

All while knowing

What’s meant to be

And the blessings we’ll see

The mountain is something real

Too difficult to conceal

It reveals our power

Hour after hour

The moments we pray

How we get through every day

It’s God’s encouraging word

The best we’ve heard

It makes us see what we’ll gain

Through heartache and pain

It represents our fight

Both day and night

It’s our shaky ground

Before we turn ourselves around

It keeps us close

Before we see what matters most

It keeps us going

All while knowing

Every moment is for us

In God we trust

We don’t run and hide

We follow our guide

As we climb the mountain

Someone To Hold

I dream of you day and night

My thoughts feel so right

Your tender touch

Means so much

The moments we share

Let me know you care

Love fills our days

In so many ways

I simply can’t resist

You tender kiss

What we have is real

Too difficult to conceal

God is with us

In Him we trust

He set things in stone

He’ll never leave us alone

A love story will be told

Now I have someone to hold

You make me smile

Even laugh a little while

It’s a special thing

I love the joy you bring

You give me something pure

You make me feel secure

One look at your heart

And I see where to start

You keep me strong

Whether I’m right or wrong

The world should know what I know

I’ll let my feelings show

You make me proud

I don’t have to shout or talk real loud

It’s plain to see

Our love was meant to be

God planted the seed

To a blessing indeed

A love story will be told

Now I have someone to hold

Perfect Timing

Waiting for God to move

As if He has something to prove

Wondering when things will change

Starting to feel mighty strange

Looking for perfect peace

The kind you don’t want to release

Need something to share

Wondering if anyone will care

Looking for a place

Filled with mercy and grace

Trying to sit still

While learning to accept God’s will

Falling and rising again

While learning how to win

Learning to see the blessing in a trial

Even smile a little while

Cause God has perfect timing

Going over what you know

Trying not to let heartache show

Grappling with fear

Wondering if God is standing near

Facing every day

While trying to find your way

Looking at what’s in stone

Wondering why you feel alone

Searching for solid ground

Trying to turn your life around

Simply running your race

At your own pace

Seeing what’s real

Too difficult to conceal

Continuing your journey

Knowing it’s for you only

Looking straight ahead

While full of dread

Standing tall

After God answers a call

Knowing He’s a wonder to behold

That’s the story to be told

Cause God has perfect timing

Strength In Struggle

We go through every day

While trying to find our way

We stumble here and there

As we search for someone to care

We seem to be alone

With nothing to call our own

We grapple with our fears

We shed a few tears

Our heads hang low

Before we see where to go

We look for peace of mind

Which is hard to find

We feel a lot of pressure

By all measure

Until we see God

We give Him a wink and nod

We continue our journey

Cause it’s meant for us only

We wonder what we’ll see

We wonder what’s meant to be

We search for a hand to hold

As we wait for our story to be told

We wait for our purpose

To rise to the surface

We try to sit still

While accepting God’s will

We wonder who to call

As we brace for a fall

We wait for a word

That’s the best we’ve heard

We try to focus on principles

While looking for small miracles

We continue with the stressing

Before we finally see our blessing

We face our naysayers

As we say our prayers

We finally find strength

As we talk with God at length
