Life

Life fills every day

In a very special way

It contains God’s word

One we’ve always heard

It contains lessons

That can become confessions

It can reveal our purpose

Rising to the surface

It offers solid ground

It can turn us around

Life shows what God can do

It can change our view

It rests in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

It can take us far

As it shows us how we are

It can remove all doubt

That God will work things out

It can sooth the heart

Show us where we should start

It can help us grow

Show the world what we know

It is a God given gift

That gives us a lift

It is a journey

Meant for us only

It shows what we’ll gain

Through heartache and pain

It gives us power

Hour after hour

It contains a prayer

Showing God is always there

It can make us smile

Even laugh a little while

Life

Still Standing

We’ve traveled far

Just to see who we are

We’ve been shamed

We’ve been defamed

We’ve gotten lost

Not knowing at what cost

We’ve faced naysayers

While saying our prayers

We’ve searched for a place

To run our race

We’ve shed several tears

Grappled with many fears

Fallen and risen again

Before faith taught us to win

We’ve searched for strength

Before talking with God at length

We searched for a home

Where every soul can roam

We’ve wondered what to do

Before God changed our view

We’ve had a soft landing

We’re still standing

We’ve missed what’s by design

Wondered if everything is fine

We’ve looked at our past

Wondered how we would last

We’ve searched for affection

Longed for protection

While trying to see

What’s meant to be

We’ve longed for peace

Our hearts won’t release

While searching for a smile

That will last a while

We’ve looked at every cloud

Before faith made us proud

We’ve searched for a way

To live every day

Before being filled to the core

Then blessed with more

We’ve had a soft landing

We’re still standing

The Prayer

Heavenly Father,

Thank you for the love

That comes from heaven above

Thank you for the peace you give

As you teach us to live

You wipe every tear

You remove every fear

You give us strength

Whenever we talk at length

Thank you for the purpose

We see lying at the surface

It keeps us going

All while knowing

You’re standing there

With tender loving care

Thank you for the word

One we’ve always heard

It gives us direction

As well as affection

You are the light

We follow day and night

You take us to a place

Filled with mercy and grace

You are the solid ground

We’re glad we found

We see what you can do

It feels like morning dew

You never stall

You answer every call

You hold us close

Cause we matter most

We’ve found a treasure

Beyond all measure

We finally have a home

Where our souls can roam

You supply every need

You help us succeed

You are everything

We love the joy you bring

You make us smile

Even laugh a little while

Thank you for blessings granted

All the seeds you’ve planted

You fill every day

In a very loving way

Walking On Sunshine

We awake to a new day

As we accept God’s way

We know what’s true

We see what God can do

Another journey begins

And faith always wins

Every moment is rare

We see God standing there

We gain strength

As we talk with God at length

We do our dance

To our second chance

It makes us smile

Even laugh a little while

We see the blessing ahead

We’ve let go of dread

God holds us close

Cause we matter most

We keep going

All while knowing

Everything is fine

We’re walking on sunshine

We embrace the new journey

Cause it’s meant for us only

We rest in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

We see our purpose

As it rises to the surface

Faith makes us see

The moment is meant to be

Our naysayers we ignore

As God fills us to the core

His word lifts us up

It fills our cup

We feel God’s affection

We have His protection

We can finally stand

As we take God’s hand

We lift one voice

Before we rejoice

Our journey will continue

Love is on the menu

Everything is fine

We’re walking on sunshine
