Month: March 2024

Still Standing

We’ve been shamed

We’ve been defamed

We’ve been scorned

Had our hearts torn

We’ve fallen far

Had to heal every scar

We’ve gotten lost

Not knowing the cost

We’ve been knocked to our knees

Not knowing who to please

We’ve longed for a word

Unlike any we’ve heard

Before we heard God’s voice

Then began to rejoice

We’ve wondered what to do

Before changing our view

We’ve longed for affection

As well as protection

Before God held us close

Like we mattered most

We were in a different place

As we ran our race

We had a soft landing

And we’re still standing

We’ve seen many a cloud

Wondered how to be proud

We’ve searched for peace

Our hearts can’t release

Tried to turn ourselves around

While searching for solid ground

We’ve looked for purpose

Lying at the surface

Looked straight ahead

While grappling with dread

We’ve had a feeling

That left us reeling

Before God soothed every soul

Then made us whole

We’ve had some doubt

That things would work out

We’ve wondered how to dream

Strange though it may seem

We’ve longed for strength

As we talk at length

We’ve had a soft landing

And we’re still standing

When Blessings Come

When blessings come

God fills the day

With His loving way

He fills the soul

With what makes it whole

We gain a renewed strength

As we talk at length

We ignore our naysayers

As we say our prayers

We feel unconditional love

From heaven above

God’s word gives us peace

Our hearts can’t release

We embrace every journey

Meant for us only

Every moment makes us smile

Even laugh a little while

We see what we’ll gain

Through heartache and pain

We look straight ahead

Without an ounce of dread

And life gets better

As we embrace it to the letter

When blessings come

We see what’s by design

Why everything is fine

God holds us close

Cause we matter most

God’s word becomes clear

Something we hold dear

Every dream is real

Too difficult to conceal

Our souls run free

We see what’s meant to be

We build a home

Where our souls can roam

We hold hands

Right where love stands

We remove all doubt

That God will work things out

We rest on solid ground

We share the joy we found

And we lift one voice

As we begin to rejoice
