Roses

Look at the roses

Let’s strike a few poses

The roses fill every day

In a very special way

They show God is there

With tender loving care

They are a symbol of peace

Our hearts can’t release

Our God given purpose

Lying at the surface

They provide a path

Without unleashing God’s wrath

They are our victory dance

They are our second chance

They set things in stone

Show God won’t leave us alone

They remove all doubt

That God will work things out

And they make us see

What’s truly meant to be

Look at the roses

Something so sweet

They appear wherever we meet

They are the encouraging word

We’ve always heard

They keep us close

Cause we matter most

They fill our hearts

Show us where love starts

They fill every soul

They make life whole

They remove every cloud

Make us sing out loud

They fill a space

Filled with mercy and grace

They show what’s meant for us

The God we trust

They rest on fertile ground

They show the joy we’ve found

They fill every chapter

With joy and laughter

They reveal what’s true

We know what God can do

Roses

Solid Ground

I’m planted firmly in place

As I cherish a beautiful space

Faith taught me what I know

It goes wherever I go

Prayer is the key

To what’s meant to be

My naysayers I ignore

Cause I’m filled to the core

God’s encouraging word

Is all I’ve heard

It provides a path

Without unleashing God’s wrath

I see what’s in stone

Why God won’t leave me alone

He is the light

I follow day and night

I see my purpose

Lying at the surface

Faith makes me stronger

As my days get longer

I count every blessing

Without a lot of stressing

God reveals what’s by design

I know everything’s fine

I feel the love

Coming from heaven above

I know what God can do

I’ve changed my view

I travel far

Without receiving a scar

God holds me close

Cause I matter most

I’ve learned to stand

By taking His hand

Now I have a treasure

I cherish beyond measure

Faith fills my days

In a lot of ways

I have something pure

I feel safe and secure

I feel a peace

My heart won’t release

God turned me around

Then put me on solid ground

Set In Stone

We face every day

God shows us the way

We embrace every journey

Meant for us only

We stay by our guide

We do it with pride

God shows what He can do

Faith changed our view

We look straight ahead

Without an ounce of dread

We have no doubt

God will work things out

We know what’s by design

Everything’s just fine

We’ve learned to smile

Even laugh a little while

We hang on God’s word

It’s all we’ve heard

Our souls run free

We know it’s meant to be

God never leaves us alone

He set things in stone

We rest in a place

Filed with mercy and grace

We get stronger

As our days get longer

We see our purpose

Lying at the surface

Our hearts feel pleasure

Beyond all measure

We have a hand to hold

Our story will be told

We feel God’s affection

We have His protection

The seeds have been planted

Blessings have been granted

What we have is rare

We know God is there

We’ve learned from the past

We make every moment last

Faith offers solid ground

We share the joy we found

God never leaves us alone

He set things in stone

Highways Of Life

Traveling the highways of life

While removing the strife

Hoping God leads the way

Praying for a better day

Looking at every chapter

Longing for joy and laughter

Learning to stand

While taking God’s hand

Feeling stronger for sure

Feeling something pure

Seeing life lessons galore

As God fills cups to the core

Souls running free

Knowing it’s meant to be

Trying to stay on course

With very little remorse

Looking at the road

While God carries the heavy load

Traveling the highways of life

Wondering what we’ll find

Longing for peace of mind

Suddenly seeing purpose

Rise to the surface

Hanging on God’s word

The only thing we’ve heard

Faith removing every cloud

Making God almighty proud

Looking into our hearts

Where every journey starts

Facing something real

Too difficult to conceal

Before arriving at a place

Filled with mercy and grace

Seeing what’s for us

Cause in God we trust

Seeing every step we take

Is a memory we’ll make

Staying in prayer

Cause God almighty is there

We keep going

All while knowing

We’ll reach every blessing

Without a lot of stressing

Telling our story

In all God’s glory

With no need to pretend

Until we reach the end
