Sea Of Love

I’m lying in the sea of love

Looking at heaven above

I see what God can do

How I made it through

I see all the roads I’ve traveled

Why my soul never unraveled

I see moments I lost my way

How God lifted me every day

I feel God’s affection

I have His protection

I see my purpose appear

Why I have nothing to fear

I see how God filled my soul

Why He makes me whole

I hear His word

Which I’ve always heard

I follow as God guides me

My heart and soul run free

I’ve removed all doubt

That God will work things out

And God gets the glory

As I tell my story

I’m lying in a sea of love

I’ve let go of dread

As I look straight ahead

God has a plan

He’ll reveal when He can

He has set things in stone

Reminds me I’m not alone

I feel God’s hand

As I learn to stand

I see what God can do

It feels like morning dew

I reach my peak

Whenever I hear God speak

Naysayers I ignore

Cause I’m filled to the core

I thank heaven above

For the sea of love

Mama’s Hands

Mama’s hands used to hold me

Mama’s hands set me free

They taught me to be strong

Showed me right and wrong

They filled every day

In a very loving way

They filled every journey

With unconditional love only

They provided direction

Along with plenty of affection

They showed me purpose

Rises to the surface

Mama’s hands pointed to a word

That deserves to be heard

They offered discipline

Show me I could win

They removed fear

Showed me God is near

They showed me what’s real

Things I shouldn’t conceal

And they showed a treasure

Beyond all measure

Mama’s hands carried me through

Showed what God can do

They filled my soul

They made me whole

They turned me around

Put me on solid ground

They revealed what’s in stone

Why I’m never alone

They gave me a home

Where my soul could roam

They gave me something to hold

Promised my story would be told

They talked about every chapter

Containing joy and laughter

They shared lessons learned

All the stripes earned

They lifted me up

They filled my cup

They revealed my name

Helped remove my shame

They made me smile

Even laugh a little while

I saw where love stands

Through Mama’s hands

The Journey

Walking down the street

Where faith and God meet

We learn as we go

We share what we know

We marvel at what we see

We know it’s meant to be

Our feet take us far

Without delivering a scar

We open our eyes

To life’s wonderful surprise

The lessons we learn

The stripes we earn

Appear at our side

Along with our guide

We hang on the word

We’ve always heard

It offers something pure

It makes us feel secure

We gain a renewed strength

By talking with God at length

Every moment is for us

In Him we trust

We live in a peace

Our hearts won’t release

We see what’s in stone

Why God won’t leave us alone

Faith makes clear

What we should hold dear

The treasure we found

Has turned our lives around

We know what we hold

Our story will be told

We find our purpose

Lying at the surface

God guides every move

We have nothing to prove

We count every blessing

Without a lot of stressing

They keep us going

All without knowing

Faith is the way

To live every day

We see what we’ll gain

Through heartache and pain

Every moment makes us smile

Even laugh a little while

Love Lifted Me

I was lost and alone

With nothing to call my own

Until God showed me the way

To live every day

Every day gets better

As I embrace life to the letter

Every answered prayer

Shows God is there

The world knows my name

I’ve let go of the shame

My heart runs free

I know it’s meant to be

God has filled my soul

He makes me whole

I can look straight ahead

Without an ounce of dread

I feel God’s affection

I have His protection

Faith keeps me strong

Whether I’m right or wrong

Without a doubt

God worked things out

I hang on His word

Cause it’s all I’ve heard

I live in a place

Filled with God’s grace

God holds me close

Cause I matter most

It’s crystal clear

What I hold dear

Every moment is real

Too difficult to conceal

I know what I hold

My story will be told

I’ve learned to smile

I even laugh a little while

Everything is by design

So, I’m just fine

Every step I take

Is a memory I’ll make

It’s part of the plan

God will reveal when He can

I see my purpose

Rising to the surface

I’ve come far

God healed every scar

It’s easy to see

Love lifted me
