Rearview Mirror

As we look in the rearview mirror

Our vision becomes clearer

We see our past

How we made every moment last

We see lessons we’ve learned

All the stripes we’ve earned

The God standing there

With His tender loving care

How we gained strength

By talking with God at length

We see the plan

God will reveal when He can

Our divine purpose

Rising to the surface

What fills every soul

What makes life whole

We see what God can do

It feels like morning dew

We see the place

Filled with mercy and grace

And all the love

Coming from heaven above

As we look in the rearview mirror

We see what’s in stone

Why God won’t leave us alone

The solid foundation

He created without hesitation

We see the blessings granted

All the seeds God planted

How we rose again

How faith helped us win

We see every journey

Meant for us only

We see our solid ground

We share the joy we found

How we feel God’s power

Hour after hour

We see what’s for us

In God we trust

We see special days

In so many ways

And everything becomes clearer

As we look at in the rearview mirror

Our Bond

We share every day

In a very loving way

We hold each other close

Cause love matters most

The moments we share

And the dreams we dare

Show God is with us

In Him we trust

Every tender kiss

We simply can’t resist

Every tender touch

Means so much

We rest in a place

Filled with God’s grace

We can clearly see

Our love is meant to be

No matter what we do

What we go through

Our love gets stronger

As our days get longer

We know what’s by design

Why everything is fine

The world knows our name

Things just aren’t the same

Some thought we wouldn’t last

But we learned from the past

This journey is ours

We love for hours

We know what we hold

Our story will be told

Our love we treasure

Beyond all measure

It helps us stand

As we hold God’s hand

We move without fear

Cause God is always near

We hang on His word

Cause it’s all we’ve heard

We see beautiful things

All the joy life brings

We’ve stayed together

During stormy weather

God fills us to the core

Then offers us more

There’s no pretending

Cause our love is never ending

Perfect Peace

We’ve faced every day

While accepting God’s way

Some have doubted us

But in God we trust

Some thought we wouldn’t last

But we’ve learned from the past

We’ve fallen and risen again

Cause faith helped us win

We’ve been down

Had our smiles turned into a frown

We’ve been scorned

Had our hearts torn

Yet we’ve stayed on the move

Knowing we had nothing to prove

We’ve searched high and low

For what we know

We’ve gotten turned around

Until we found solid ground

We’ve embraced every journey

Meant for us only

We’ve doubted our purpose

Until it rose to the surface

But we stayed on course

Without an ounce of remorse

Cause we’re in perfect peace

We’ve wondered what’s by design

If everything would be fine

Until God planted the seed

To a blessing indeed

We’ve longed for a word

We’ve never heard

Until God’s voice

Made us rejoice

We’ve couldn’t stand

Until God took our hand

We’ve learned to smile

Even laugh a while

We’ve gotten lost

Didn’t know the cost

Until God gave us direction

With plenty of affection

We’ve traveled far

While healing every scar

God knows us

In Him we trust

We’ve stayed on course

Without an ounce of remorse

Cause we’re in perfect peace

Father Figure

A father figure raised me

Showed what’s meant to be

His lessons filled every day

In a very special way

He held my hand

Taught me how to stand

He showed me the love

Coming from heaven above

He taught me to pray

Accept God’s way

He said faith would fill my soul

Make life whole

He said life is real

Too difficult to conceal

He talked about what’s in stone

Why God won’t leave me alone

He talked about purpose

How it rises to the surface

What God can do

How it feels like morning dew

And how I’d grow

By sharing what I know

I had a father figure

Brave and strong

He taught me right and wrong

He gave me direction

And plenty of affection

He made clear

What I should hold dear

He said I’d go far

While reaching for a star

He talked about God’s word

One I’ve always heard

The beautiful place

Filled with mercy and grace

He said count my blessings

Without a lot of stressing

He said faith would turn me around

Put me on solid ground

He showed what’s by design

Why everything is fine

He was my father figure
