The Sweetest Thing

You fill my days

With your loving ways

You lift me up

You fill my cup

Your love set me free

Showed me what’s meant to be

I look in your eyes

And there’s no surprise

God planted the seed

To a blessing indeed

You’ve turned me around

Put me on solid ground

Every moment we share

Tells me how much you care

You make me smile

Even laugh a little while

You put a move on my heart

From the very start

This journey belongs to us

In God we trust

I’ve changed my view

I see what you can do

I love the joy you bring

You’re the sweetest thing

You fill my soul

You make me whole

You give me strength

As we talk at length

You hold me close

Cause I matter most

You fill me to the core

Then offer me more

You set things in stone

You never leave me alone

Our love is real

Too difficult to conceal

You’re part of the journey

Meant for me only

You keep me going

All while knowing

God is with us

In Him we trust

You give me peace

My heart won’t release

You are a treasure

I cherish beyond measure

I love the joy you bring

You’re the sweetest thing

The Path

The path is set by God

As we offer a wink and nod

It’s an ordained journey

Meant for us only

It fills every day

In its own special way

It sets things in stone

It never leaves us alone

It teaches lessons

That become heartfelt confessions

It shows what’s for us

As well as the God we trust

It shows what’s real

Things the heart can’t conceal

It unveils our purpose

Before it rises to the surface

It keeps us going

All while knowing

Faith is the key

To what’s meant to be

The path fills the soul

It makes life whole

It shows what to ignore

As God fills us to the core

The path removes all doubt

That God will work things out

It gives us a home

Where our souls can roam

It shows our hearts

Where love usually starts

It unveils the word

We’ve always heard

It shows what we’ll gain

Through heartache and pain

It offers a place

Filled with mercy and grace

It shows what’s by design

Why everything is fine

It shows the blessings granted

All the seeds we’ve planted

It helps us look ahead

Without an ounce of dread

It changed our view

When we saw what God can do

The path

Horizons

Awaking every day

Accepting God’s way

Learning as we go

Sharing what we know

Carrying life lessons

That become heartfelt confessions

Ignoring our naysayers

As we say our prayers

Looking all around

Sharing the joy we found

Trying something new

Seeing how God brought us through

Finding perfect peace

Our hearts won’t release

Looking straight ahead

While letting go of dread

Knowing what’s for us

Seeing the God we trust

Reaching our peak

Whenever we hear God speak

Resting in a place

Filled with God’s grace

Learning to smile

Even laugh a little while

Feeling God’s affection

Having His protection

Remembering who we are

As we reach for a scar

Letting go of sorrow

Looking to tomorrow

Knowing every step we take

Is a memory we’ll make

Hanging on the encouraging word

We’ve always heard

Learning to let go

Of what we used to know

Learning our name

Letting go of our shame

Seeing our purpose

Rise to the surface

Embracing every journey

Meant for us only

Learning to see

What’s truly meant to be

Learning to stand

As we hold God’s hand

Finding a home

Where our souls can roam

Letting go of doubt

That God will work things out

Horizons

Better Days

We’ve prayed consistently

Stayed together faithfully

We’ve endured a great deal

Faced moments that are real

We’ve seen what’s by design

Wondered if everything is fine

We’ve prayed for strength

While talking to God at length

We’ve hung on the word

We’ve always heard

We’ve longed for affection

As well as protection

We’ve searched our hearts

To see where love starts

We’ve grappled with doubt

That things will work out

We’ve wanted every soul

To be made whole

We’ve looked ahead

While filled with dread

We’ve wanted to smile

Even laugh a little while

Before changing our ways

Then seeing better days

We’ve searched for a place

Filled with mercy and grace

We’ve been set aside

While searching for a guide

We’ve traveled far

While healing every scar

We’ve longed for a home

Where our souls can roam

We’ve looked at what we know

Wondered how we can grow

We’ve longed to see

What’s truly meant to be

We’ve wanted a journey

Meant for us only

We’ve wondered what’s for us

Wondered who to trust

We’ve wanted a light

To follow day and night

We’ve tried to turn around

Searched for solid ground

Until we changed our ways

Then saw better days
