Just Once

Just once

We face a new day

While accepting God’s way

We learn that trust

Is an absolute must

Just once faith will reveal

What the heart can’t conceal

Just once

we embrace what we’ve learned

And all the stripes we’ve earned

We get much stronger

As our days get longer

Just once

We let go of fear

When we see God standing near

We rest in a place

Filled with God’s amazing grace

We plant the seeds

To very good deeds

Just once

We spread the love

Coming from heaven above

We hold our faith close

Cause faith matters most

We listen to God’s word

Cause it’s the best we’ve heard

Just once

Every frown

Is turned upside down

We embrace the peace

Our hearts won’t release

We face our naysayers

As we say our prayers

And life gets better

As we embrace it to the letter

Just once

We learn to stand

As we hold God’s hand

We cherish every journey

Meant for us only

We remove all doubt

That God will work things out

Faith makes us see

What’s truly meant to be

Just once

We learn as we go

We share what we know

We continue to live

We continue to give

Just once

Breaking Of Day

The breaking of day arrives

Ensuring the soul thrives

We embrace the love

Coming from heaven above

As another journey begins

And faith in God wins

We see what’s in stone

Why God won’t leave us alone

God reveals our purpose

Before it rises to the surface

We do a victory dance

Whenever we get a chance

The moment fills us to the core

Makes us beg for more

We learn to smile

Even laugh a little while

And tender loving care

Shows God is there

The breaking of day is real

Much too difficult to conceal

Our hearts run free

We see what’s meant to be

We turn ourselves around

Then land on solid ground

We follow the right path

Without suffering God’s wrath

We hold each other close

Cause our bond matters most

We see what God can do

How He brought us through

We embrace the new chapter

With joy and laughter

We count the blessings granted

We water the seeds we’ve planted

We learn to smile

Even laugh a little while

We let go of fear

Knowing God is near

We feel His affection

We embrace His protection

Then make our way

Through the breaking of day

Facing Fear

Standing all alone

Trying to find my zone

Wondering what will be

Acknowledging what I see

Trying to stand tall

Until God answers my call

Continuing to pray

Until a blessing comes my way

Seeing what God can do

Changing my point of view

Walking until I find a place

Filled with mercy and grace

Knowing the journey

Is meant for me only

Holding my faith close

Cause faith matters most

Learning to sit still

Until I see God’s will

Knowing that it’s best

That I pass every test

Seeing what’s real

Knowing what I can’t conceal

Seeing God work miracles

As I stand on my principles

Lifting my voice

As I begin to rejoice

Finally finding some direction

Getting God’s protection

Surviving every storm

Defying every norm

Giving as good as I get

With very little regret

Looking at heaven above

Seeing nothing but love

Removing all doubt

That God will work things out

Moving full speed ahead

Without an ounce of dread

Seeing what I’ll gain

Through heartache and pain

Reaching my peak

Whenever I hear God speak

Taking one step at a time

While still in my prime

Knowing God is near

I’ll continue facing my fear

The Calling

Hearing God’s voice day after day

Allowing Him to lead the way

Waiting for purpose to appear

Learning to let go of fear

Seeing an answered prayer

Knowing God is always there

Embracing the journey

Meant for us only

Seeing what’s in stone

Why God won’t leave us alone

Passing every test

Just like all the rest

Learning to stand

As we hold God’s hand

Knowing every step we take

Is a memory we’ll make

Taking time to heal

Knowing what we can’t conceal

Getting stronger as we go

Sharing what we know

God filling the soul

With what makes it whole

Turning ourselves around

Finding solid ground

Starting a new chapter

Filled with joy and laughter

Resting in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

Staying on course

Without an ounce of remorse

God holding us close

Like we matter most

Finally telling our story

In all God’s glory

Finding a peace

Our hearts can’t release

Hearing a word

That’s the best we’ve heard

Remembering who we are

As we reach for a star

Reaching our peak

Whenever we hear God speak

Learning to live

Learning to give

Learning love

Like heaven above

Standing without falling

Before answering our calling
