Happiness

Happiness is cherishing every day

Accepting God’s way

Counting every blessing granted

Watering the seeds we’ve planted

Revealing lessons learned

Seeing the stripes we’ve earned

Putting things on the table

Knowing God is able

Letting go of fear

Cause we know God is near

Feeling God’s affection

Having His protection

Lifting one voice

As we begin to rejoice

Resting on solid ground

Sharing the joy we found

Wearing a smile

Even laughing a little while

Happiness is standing tall

Knowing God will answer our call

Hearing a word

That’s the best we’ve heard

Taking the time

To remember our prime

Looking ahead

Without an ounce of dread

Knowing what’s for us

Cause in God we trust

Seeing what’s in stone

Realizing we’re not alone

Cherishing every moment for sure

Feeling safe and secure

Equals happiness

When We Look Ahead

When we look ahead

Faith removes our dread

We embrace the plan

God will reveal when He can

We cherish every day

We accept God’s way

We count the blessings granted

We water the seeds we’ve planted

We do a victory dance

Whenever we get a chance

We relish peace of mind

Which is hard to find

We let go of fear

As we hold each other near

We learn from the past

We make every moment last

And life gets better

When we embrace it to the letter

When we look ahead

Without an ounce of dread

We relish the place

Filled with mercy and grace

We see what’s in stone

We know we’re not alone

We get stronger

As our days get longer

We know what’s real

We know what we can’t conceal

We get what we crave

We feel the love God gave

We turn ourselves around

We land on solid ground

We stand on principles

As God performs small miracles

We simply keep going

All while knowing

There’s no need for dread

When we look ahead

Nick Of Time

We ponder which way to go

Cause that’s all we know

We reflect day and night

On what may seem right

We grapple with fear

Not knowing who’s always near

We wonder if we’ll last

As we deal with our past

We long for strength

While talking with God at length

We try to maintain our poise

Despite all the noise

We try to turn around

While searching for solid ground

We long for a place

Filled with mercy and grace

We long to see

What’s meant to be

Before we reach our prime

And God arrives in the nick of time

We long for a hand to hold

As our story is told

We long for affection

As well as protection

We long to live better

Embrace life to the letter

We continue to travel

While trying not to unravel

We wonder what we can take

With every step we make

We try to stand

While trying to take a hand

We wonder what’s in stone

We wonder if we’re alone

We search our hearts

Where everything starts

We long for something pure

To feel safe and secure

Before we reach our prime

And God arrives in the nick of time

Day By Day

Day by day

We accept God’s way

We receive blessings galore

Before God offers us more

We hold each other close

Cause love matters most

We begin to see

We’re truly meant to be

We rest in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

We relish peace of mind

Which is hard to find

We get stronger

As our days get longer

We learn as we go

We share what we know

Faith removes our fear

Cause God is always near

Day by day

We learn to pray

We embrace every journey

Meant for us only

We listen to God’s word

Cause it’s the best we’ve heard

We follow His light

Cause it shines day and night

Faith turns us around

Puts us on solid ground

We see what’s in stone

Why God won’t leave us alone

We plant seeds

That lead to good deeds

We share the love

That comes from heaven above

We share our dreams

Until we burst at the seams

We learn from the past

We make every moment last

We continue to stand

As we hold God’s hand

And we find our way

Day by day
