Praying Woman

She kneels and bows her head

Without an ounce of dread

She utters words silently

As she sits quietly

Having removed her fear

She knows God almighty is near

She has what she calls a conversation

Without much hesitation

While she wonders what’s in stone

She knows she’s not alone

She searches her heart

Cause that’s a great place to start

She feels something pure

It makes her feel secure

Her silence removes every cloud

She doesn’t have to talk very loud

The moment offers her a place

Filled with mercy and grace

She keeps going

All while knowing

Blessings will be granted

And seeds will be planted

She keeps her faith close

Cause faith matters most

The moment fills her with purpose

She sees it at the surface

It’s like a guiding light

She follows day and night

The word fills her to the core

More than anything has before

She finds perfect peace

Her heart won’t release

It fills all her days

In a lot of ways

She learns to stand

While holding God’s hand

She always finds a surprise

When she opens her eyes

She’s oh so human

She’s a praying woman

When I Look At You

When I look at you

I see what God can do

I see our love

Lying in heaven above

I see all our dreams

Strange though it seems

I see your smile

I even hear you laugh a while

I see your soul

What makes life whole

I watch our hearts run free

I see what’s meant to be

I see how we’ve thrived

How our love survived

How God fills every day

How faith showed us the way

The way we hold each other close

Like love matters most

And the beautiful place

Filled with mercy and grace

When I look at you

I see our purpose take hold

The love story being told

How we let go of fear

When we saw God standing near

The beautiful things meant for us

The God we trust

Our solid ground

All the joy we found

The encouraging word

We’ve always heard

The blessings granted

All the seeds we’ve planted

The lessons we’ve learned

All the stripes we’ve earned

I see the way love goes

How much God knows

The ordained journey

Meant for two only

And how we made it through

Shows when I look at you
