At Midnight

At midnight we pray

As God has His way

We reflect on the love

Coming from heaven above

The God given journey

Meant for us only

How we gained strength

By talking with God at length

The beautiful place

Filled with mercy and grace

How we changed our view

After seeing what God can do

We see faith is the key

To what’s meant to be

How God fills every soul

Then makes life whole

We reflect on the light

We follow day and night

We see what’s by design

Why everything is fine

We count blessings galore

As God fills us to the core

At midnight

We hang on the word

We’ve always heard

We break into a smile

Then laugh a little while

We plant seeds

That lead to good deeds

We reflect on the home

Where our souls roam

We see who we are

As we reach for a star

We rest on solid ground

We share the joy we found

We do a victory dance

When we get a chance

We see lessons

That become heartfelt confessions

We lift one voice

As we begin to rejoice

Life gets better

We embrace it to the letter

At midnight

Tender Touch

I feel your tender touch

It means so much

It fills my day

In a very special way

It soothes my soul

It makes me whole

It lets me run free

Cause we’re meant to be

Your touch is pure

It makes me feel secure

It sets things in stone

I know I’m not alone

Your touch is the purpose

I see rising at the surface

It’s my solid ground

It’s the joy I’ve found

It takes me to a place

Filled with mercy and grace

God planted the seed

To a blessing indeed

It keeps me close

Cause I matter most

Your touch makes me smile

Even laugh a little while

Your touch is a journey

Meant for me only

I know it’s real

Too difficult to conceal

It takes me far

Without leaving a scar

It moves my heart

Shows me where to start

Your touch is like a prayer

Showing God is there

Your touch shows love

Coming from heaven above

I have nothing to fear

When I see you near

Your touch keeps me going

All while knowing

What I hold

Our story will be told

I feel your tender touch

It means so much

Somewhere

Somewhere there’s a love

Sitting in heaven above

Somewhere there’s peace

The heart won’t release

Somewhere there’s a place

Filled with mercy and grace

Somewhere there’s a view

That shows what God can do

Somewhere there’s a word

Unlike any we’ve ever heard

Somewhere there’s a purpose

Rising to the surface

Somewhere a blessing is granted

Where seeds are planted

Somewhere life gets better

When we embrace it to the letter

Somewhere faith removes doubt

That God will work things out

Somewhere the soul runs free

As God shows it’s meant to be

Somewhere we turn around

Before we find solid ground

Somewhere we find a home

Where our souls can roam

Somewhere we learn to live

We learn to give

We learn to stand

As we hold God’s hand

Somewhere we travel

And our souls don’t unravel

Somewhere we learn to smile

Even laugh a little while

Somewhere we receive affection

We have God’s protection

Somewhere we lift one voice

As we begin to rejoice

Somewhere God lifts us up

Then fills our cup

Somewhere we tell our story

In all God’s glory

Somewhere we dance

During our second chance

Somewhere our lessons

Become heartfelt confessions

Somewhere

Next Chapter

Starting the next chapter

Filled with joy and laughter

A new day has arrived

I see how I’ve thrived

God led the way

To a much brighter day

My purpose is clear

I have nothing to fear

This new journey is real

Too difficult to conceal

I can finally stand

As I hold God’s hand

I learned from the past

I made every moment last

God’s word left no doubt

That things would work out

I’ve changed my view

I see what God can do

I see new lessons

I’ll turn into confessions

My soul runs free

I know it’s meant to be

I’ve learned to smile

Even laugh a little while

I’m now in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

God’s encouraging word

Is the best I’ve heard

This moment is by design

Everything is fine

Faith removed every cloud

That makes me proud

I’m filled to the core

God will give me more

I have a renewed strength

After talking with Him at length

I know my name

I’ve let go of the shame

Life has gotten better

Cause I embrace it to the letter

So, I’ll start another chapter

Filled with joy and laughter
