Where We Stand

From where we stand

We can hold God’s hand

We can see our purpose

Rise to the surface

We can feel the love

Coming from heaven above

We take one moment at a time

While still in our prime

We can see every soul

What makes life whole

We can let go of fear

While God is standing near

We find a place

Filled with mercy and grace

And we find a treasure

Beyond all measure

From where we stand

We relish peace of mind

Which is hard to find

We can hear a word

That’s the best we’ve heard

We remember who we are

As we reach for a star

We feel God’s power

Hour after hour

We can reach our peak

Whenever we hear God speak

We find solid ground

We share the joy we found

We follow the light

That shines day and night

We keep going

All while knowing

God is with us

In Him we trust

And He takes our hand

From where we stand

Falling Leaves

Falling leaves

Appear every season

They give us a reason

To embrace another journey

Meant for us only

They give us a place

To run our race

They are the purpose

Rising to the surface

They unveil a new chapter

Filled with joy and laughter

They show what God can do

How we changed our view

They set things in stone

They never leave us alone

And they show the plan

God will reveal when He can

Falling leaves

Are the passage of time

What we did during our prime

The pleasure we feel

What our hearts will reveal

What’s truly meant for us

The God we trust

The word we hear

How we let go of fear

How we learn to stand

While God holds our hand

All the steps we take

The memories we’ll make

What is sweet and pure

What makes us feel secure

What makes us smile

Even laugh a little while

The lessons we learn

The stripes we earn

How we gain strength

When we talk to God at length

What love achieves

Through falling leaves

Changes

Awaking one day

To a better way

Planting all the seeds

That lead to good deeds

Moving in the right direction

With God’s love and affection

Learning to stand

As we hold God’s hand

Learning that faith is the key

To what’s meant to be

Having a change of heart

Seeing where we should start

Letting go of fear

Cause God almighty is near

Hearing an encouraging word

That’s the best we’ve heard

Learning to love

Just like heaven above

Passing yet another test

Just like all the rest

Finding a place

Filled with mercy and grace

Seeing what God can do

How He brought us through

Walking with our heads held high

Without asking why

Seeing what’s in stone

Knowing we’re not alone

Taking nothing for granted

Watering the seeds we’ve planted

Learning as we go

Sharing what we know

Learning to smile

Even laugh a little while

Knowing our name

Letting go of shame

Fulfilling the purpose

We see lying at the surface

Learning to sit still

As we accept God’s will

Gaining a renewed strength

As we talk at length

Signals serious changes

Breaking Away

Starting every day anew

Changing our point of view

Trying to look ahead

Without an ounce of dread

Continuing to pray

Cherishing every day

Learning to love

Just like heaven above

Getting much stronger

As the days get longer

Relishing peace of mind

Which is hard to find

Embracing every journey

Meant for us only

Listening to a word

That’s the best we’ve heard

Finding something pure

Feeling safe and secure

Taking one step at a time

While still in our prime

Carrying several lessons

That become heartfelt confessions

Seeing who we are

As we reach for a star

Seeing God standing there

Learning to share

Seeing our purpose

Rise to the surface

Finding a place

Filled with mercy and grace

Looking in our hearts

Where love starts

Feeling God’s affection

Having His protection

Starting a new chapter

Filled with joy and laughter

Seeing what’s real

Too difficult to conceal

Learning as we go

Sharing what you know

Learning to live

Learning to give

Learning from the past

While making every moment last

Learning to dream

As strange as that may seem

Occurs every day

While we’re breaking away
