Free Bird

Free bird

We see your pretty wings

And a lot of beautiful things

As you take to the sky

No one needs to wonder why

You spread the love

From heaven above

You make others see

What’s truly meant to be

You are the plan

God will reveal when He can

You fill every day

In a very special way

You are the light

We follow day and night

You set things in stone

You never leave us alone

Free bird

You’re a wonder to behold

You’re a story untold

You reveal our purpose

As it rises to the surface

You wipe every tear

You remove every fear

You offer something pure

You make us feel secure

You fill every place

With mercy and grace

You are the seed

To a blessing indeed

You fill every soul

You make life whole

You are the guide

Who stays by our side

You help us stand

As we hold God’s hand

You fill us to the core

Before you offer us more

You honor God’s word

Free bird

Heaven

Heaven

Something meant to be

A place for all to see

A place filled with love and peace

One simply can’t release

A place filled with direction

As well as protection

A place where we can dream

Strange though it may seem

A place that gives us strength

As we talk at length

A place that fills the soul

With what makes it whole

A place that leaves a smile

For just a little while

And a place where we get a chance

To do a victory dance

Heaven

A place paved with gold

A beautiful sight to behold

A place that’s pure

It makes us feel safe and secure

A place that removes fear

It shows God is always near

A place sitting on solid ground

It will turn a life around

A place where we reach our peak

Whenever we hear God speak

A place where we let go

Of what we used to know

A place where we stand

As we hold God’s hand

A place where love never ends

No one pretends

We can learn to live

We can learn to give

In heaven

Lessons

Lessons

What we see every day

How God shows us the way

The journey we take

The memories we make

The miracles we see

What’s truly meant to be

When we fall and rise again

How we learn to win

God’s encouraging word

What we’ve always heard

Our God given purpose

How it rises to the surface

How we gain strength

By talking with God at length

And remembering who we are

As we reach for a star

Lessons

What we know is true

How God carries us through

The love we give

How we learn to live

The moments we share

The dreams we dare

The blessings granted

All the seeds planted

The quiet place

Where we run our race

The affection we feel

What we know is real

What’s meant for us

The God we trust

What we gain

Through heartache and pain

Where we stand

As we hold God’s hand

All our confessions

Become lessons

Before Midnight

Before midnight

All our work is done

We see who’s second to none

We feel the love

Coming from heaven above

We say a silent prayer

Thanking God for being there

He fills the soul

With what makes us whole

We learn along the way

We cherish every day

We go through the fire

To obtain what we desire

We strike a few poses

As we stop to smell the roses

And we see our purpose

Rising to the surface

Before midnight

We listen to a word

That’s the best we’ve heard

We look at our hearts

Then see where love starts

We build a home

Where our souls roam

We take one step at a time

While still in our prime

We gain a renewed strength

As we talk at length

We stand tall

Knowing God will answer our call

We change our point of view

Cause we see what God can do

And we follow our guiding light

Before midnight

Out Of The Dark

Seeing no daylight

As we fight the good fight

Wondering what to do

How we’ll make it through

Searching for a place

Filled with mercy and grace

Longing for peace of mind

Which is hard to find

Wondering who we are

As we reach for a star

Longing for something pure

What will make us feel secure

Trying desperately to stand

As we hold God’s hand

Learning to pray

As we get through the day

Turning ourselves around

Finding solid ground

Making our mark

While coming out of the dark

Taking one moment at a time

Wondering if we’ll reach our prime

Longing for a journey

Meant for us only

Searching for affection

As well as direction

Searching for a word

That’s the best we’ve heard

Taking a stance

Trying to do a victory dance

Searching for peace

Our hearts won’t release

Learning God is able

While we become more stable

Dealing with the blues

Seeing what we can use

Finding our purpose

Rising to the surface

Making our mark

While we’re coming out of the dark

The Path

The path is paved with gold

It’s the story being told

God directs the path

Without unleashing His wrath

It represents the journey

Meant for us only

It’s our lessons

It’s our heartfelt confessions

It fills every soul

It makes life whole

It gives us a renewed strength

As we walk and talk at length

It makes us see

What’s truly meant to be

And it takes us far

Without leaving a scar

The path is always near

It’s something we hold dear

It is the purpose

Slowly rising to the surface

It lifts us up

It fills our cup

It shows what’s in stone

It never leaves us alone

It’s part of the plan

God reveals when He can

It offers something pure

It makes us feel safe and secure

It helps us stand

As we hold His hand

It represents God’s affection

As well as protection

It’s our solid ground

It’s the joy we’ve found

It reveals all our dreams

It makes us burst at the seams

It fills every day

In its own special way

Without suffering God’s wrath

We follow the path
