Lonely

You sit alone

Nothing to call your own

You want to stand

Need someone to hold your hand

You look for purpose

While standing at the surface

You long for the love

Coming from heaven above

As you say a prayer

Hoping God is there

It feels warm and pure

It makes you feel secure

You grapple with doubt

Wonder if things will work out

But something gives you strength

As you talk with God at length

You try to smile

Even laugh a little while

You feel the pain

You endure the strain

During the journey

God won’t leave you lonely

You travel far

As you heal every scar

You then hear a word

Unlike any you’ve heard

You long for affection

As well as protection

You look for a place

Filled with mercy and grace

You wonder what to say

How to live every day

You try to let go

Of what you used to know

Not knowing faith is the key

To what’s meant to be

You try to turn around

Search for solid ground

Before seeing what God can do

Then changing your view

Your story will be told

You’ll have something to hold

During the journey

God won’t leave you lonely

Out Of The Darkness

Sitting here alone

Nothing to call my own

I long to be free

See what’s meant to be

I say a silent prayer

Hoping God is there

I try to find my way

Then pray for a brighter day

I grapple with fear

Before I see God standing near

I continue my journey

Cause it’s meant for me only

As God teaches me to stand

While holding my hand

I change my view

As I see what God can do

I suddenly find peace

My heart won’t release

Faith helps me rise

Which isn’t a surprise

It took quite a while

But God taught me to smile

I finally hung on His word

One I’ve always heard

My naysayers filled me with doubt

They even counted me out

Before God turned me around

Put me on solid ground

I couldn’t see my purpose

Before God brought it to the surface

I suddenly got stronger

As my days got longer

Life got better

Cause I embraced it to the letter

Some tried to keep me still

But that wasn’t God’s will

I kept going

All while knowing

I could begin again

With faith I’d win

I see what’s by design

Why everything is fine

I’m out of the darkness

The Staircase

The staircase

Shows the journey

Meant for us only

It’s every step we take

All the memories we make

It’s the perfect plan

God reveals when He can

It keeps us strong

Whether we’re right or wrong

It’s the word God reveals

Things the heart never conceals

It rests in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

It shows what’s for us

The God we all trust

The unconditional love

Coming from heaven above

The strength we’ll gain

Through heartache and pain

And the beautiful smile

That last quite a while

The staircase

Let’s go of doubt

That God will work things

It fills us to the core

Before God offers us more

It is a treasure

Beyond all measure

It helps us move

Shows we have nothing to prove

It shows we pray

Day after day

It is the blessings granted

All the seeds we’ve planted

It shows how we live

How we live

And how we give

The lessons we’ve learned

All the stripes we’ve earned

The staircase

Looks at the heart

From the very start

It reveals the soul

What makes life whole

And we see how far we’ll travel

Why our souls won’t unravel

The staircase

The Word

The word

Appears in a book

We all must look

It is a guide

That stays by our side

It contains God’s principles

And wonderous miracles

It provides direction

As well as protection

It reveals what’s in stone

Why God won’t leave us alone

It unveils the love

Coming from heaven above

It offers peace during despair

It shows God is there

It gives us strength

When we talk with Him at length

It is a beautiful place

Filled with mercy and grace

It fills every day

It reveals God’s way

And it shapes our view

Of what God can do

The word

Is crystal clear

It removes every fear

It fills the soul

It makes life whole

It helps us stand

As we hold God’s hand

It shows what’s real

Too difficult to conceal

It travels far

Without leaving a scar

It shows what we’ll gain

Through heartache and pain

It reveals our purpose

Before it rises to the surface

It sets us free

Shows what’s meant to be

It can turn us around

Put us on solid ground

It moves the heart

Shows us where to start

It’s all we’ve ever heard

The word
