Granted Blessings

Seeing another day

Accepting God’s way

Letting go of fear

Cause God almighty is near

Seeing faith is the key

To what’s meant to be

God holding us close

Cause we matter most

Fulfilling our purpose

After it rises to the surface

Seeing where we’ll land

Before we take God’s hand

Passing our test

Just like all the rest

Knowing what to ignore

Before God fills us to the core

Living by God’s word

Cause it’s all we’ve heard

Doing a victory dance

Whenever we get a chance

Lifting one voice

As we begin to rejoice

Seeing what’s in stone

Knowing God won’t leave us alone

Keeping our hearts steady

Moving when we’re ready

Embracing every journey

Meant for us only

Resting in a safe place

Cherishing God’s grace

Giving as good as we get

With very little regret

Having a peace

Our hearts won’t release

Remembering who we are

As we reach for a star

Knowing our faith is pure

It makes us feel secure

God answering every call

Picking us up when we fall

Giving us direction

As well as protection

Following our guiding light

Both day and night

Never pretending

Cause our faith is never ending

Through The Storm

We’ve faced every day

Endured what came our way

We fallen and risen again

Knowing with faith we’d win

We’ve looked at our naysayers

While saying our prayers

We wondered how far we’d go

Until God helped us grow

We learned to release fear

After seeing God standing near

We prayed for strength

While talking with Him at length

We held each other close

Cause bonding matters most

We’ve hung on God’s word

Cause it’s all we’ve heard

We held on to our pride

We followed our guide

We see what we’ve learned

And all the stripes we’ve earned

Through the storm

We’ve hung our heads in shame

Before remembering our name

We’ve been turned around

Before we found solid ground

We’ve looked straight ahead

While fighting with dread

We’ve wondered what’s in stone

Why we thought we were alone

We’ve learned to love

Just like heaven above

We’ve learned to trust God

With a wink and nod

We’ve learned to stand

While holding God’s hand

We’ve found a place

Filled with mercy and grace

Faith removed every cloud

Made us sing out loud

And we know what’s real

Learned to live with zeal

Through the storm

The Dream

The dream looms day and night

It works as a guiding light

It fills every day

It shows us the way

It’s part of a plan

God will reveal when He can

It keeps us up

It fills our cup

It fills every space

With mercy and grace

It’s part of the journey

Meant for us only

It gives us strength

When we talk with God at length

It takes us far

As we reach for a star

It is the purpose

We see lying at the surface

And it fills every soul

With what makes it whole

The dream is real

It’s too difficult to conceal

It plants the seeds

To very good deeds

It makes us look ahead

Without an ounce of dread

It keeps us going

All while knowing

God will stay by our side

Our pride we can’t hide

It helps us see

What’s truly meant to be

It sets things in stone

It reminds us we’re not alone

It’s like a prayer

It shows God is there

It keeps us on the right path

Without suffering God’s wrath

It reveals our name

It removes our shame

As strange as it may seem

We call it the dream

Wisdom

Cherishing every day

Knowing God made a way

Embracing the lessons of life

Seeing that prayer removes strife

Embracing the strength from within

Knowing faith will help us win

Listening to God’s word

Acknowledging what we’ve heard

Removing our fear

When we see God standing near

Taking life one moment at a time

Before we reach our prime

Doing a victory dance

When we get a chance

Holding each other close

Cause bonding matters most

Fulfilling our God given purpose

When it rises to the surface

Resting in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

Looking at an ordained journey

Meant for us only

Trusting almighty God

With a wink and nod

Learning to smile

Even laugh a little while

Acknowledging God’s love

From heaven above

Having His protection

Heading in the right direction

Letting our light shine

Knowing everything is fine

Stopping to smell the roses

Before striking a few poses

Changing our point of view

Knowing God brought us through

Removing all doubt

That God will work things out

Finally taking a stand

While holding God’s hand

Counting every blessing

Learning to avoid stressing

Opening our eyes

To a wonderful surprise

Never pretending

Cause our journey is never ending
