Counting Blessings

We get filled to the core

While counting blessings galore

We feel an unconditional love

Coming from heaven above

We have a perfect peace

Our hearts won’t release

We gain a renewed strength

Whenever we talk with God at length

We can sit still

As we accept God’s will

We remove our fear

When we see God standing near

We stand on solid ground

We share the joy we found

We found our purpose

Rising to the surface

We’re on a journey

Meant for us only

And we rest in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

We get filled to the core

While counting blessings galore

We see what’s real

Too difficult to conceal

Faith is the guide

That stays by our side

We ignore our naysayers

As we say our prayers

God picks us up

He fills every cup

He sees us when we fall

He answers every call

We can look ahead

Without an ounce of dread

We feel God’s power

Hour after hour

We’ve learned to smile

Even laugh a little while

Every day we open our eyes

To a wonderful surprise

And we stop stressing to the core

While counting blessings galore

Believe

Believe in your silent prayer

That God almighty is there

Believe in the love

Coming from heaven above

Believe in a peace

Your heart won’t release

Believe you will reach your peak

When you hear God speak

Believe faith will turn you around

As you search for solid ground

Believe God sets things in stone

Why He won’t leave you alone

Believe you’ll find your purpose

Rising to the surface

Believe you will rest in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

Believe you can stand

As you hold God’s hand

Believe your heart

Is where everything should start

Believe every day

Is filled with God’s way

Believe His word

Is the best you’ve heard

Believe every moment is pure

Will make you feel secure

Believe you’re on the right path

And won’t suffer God’s wrath

Believe one voice

Can learn to rejoice

Believe God will remove every cloud

Faith will make you proud

Believe you can sit still

As you accept God’s will

Believe you’ll feel God’s power

Hour after hour

Believe in what life can bring

Thank God for everything

Believe in what you’ve learned

All the stripes you’ve earned

Believe

Everything

You fill every day

With your loving way

You fill my soul

With what makes it whole

You make me see

What’s meant to be

Your love carries me through

I love the things you do

Every touch is real

Too difficult to conceal

The moments we share

Let me know you care

God planted a seed

To a blessing indeed

This journey is for us

In God we trust

Faith will take us far

Without leaving a scar

We’re on the right path

We won’t suffer God’s wrath

I love the joy you bring

You are everything

You put a move on my heart

Right from the start

Love is the purpose

That rose to the surface

You lift me up

You fill my cup

I see where you stand

With one touch of your hand

I feel your affection

We have God’s protection

God’s word is clear

As we hold each other near

You are a sight to behold

You’re a story untold

You offer something pure

You make me feel secure

You are the light

I follow day and night

You keep me going

All while knowing

There is no doubt

God will work things out

I love the joy you bring

You are everything

Sleepless Night

Tossing and turning

My restless soul burning

Looking at the ceiling

My heart and mind reeling

Waiting for the break of day

Trying to accept God’s way

Trying to find some peace

My heart just won’t release

Listening to silence in the air

Trying see if God is there

Longing for an encouraging word

That’s the best I’ve heard

Longing to be free

Wondering what’s meant to be

Trying to close my eyes

Wondering where my purpose lies

Looking for a place

Filled with mercy and grace

Trying to remove all doubt

That things will work out

Still looking ahead

Without an ounce of dread

Not feeling well

Wondering where my soul will dwell

Trying to be strong

Whether I’m right or wrong

Wrestling with shame

Longing to remember my name

Struggling with the night

Searching for a guiding light

Trying to rid myself of fear

While holding my faith near

Trying to start a new chapter

Filled with joy and laughter

Wanting to remove every cloud

As I sing out loud

Wondering where to begin

Wondering if my soul will win

Wanting to fill my cup

Needing God to lift me up

Fighting the good fight

During a sleepless night
