The River

The river runs wide

It shows what we can’t hide

It flows every day

In teaches us God’s way

It reveals our purpose

Before it rises to the surface

It provides a path

Without unleashing God’s wrath

It gives us strength

As we talk with God at length

It shows what’s in stone

Why God never leaves us alone

It fills the soul

It makes life whole

It gives us something pure

It makes us feel secure

It takes us to a place

Filled with mercy and grace

It hangs on God’s word

One we’ve always heard

It gives us peace

Our hearts won’t release

The river

Shows the love

Coming from heaven above

It holds us close

Cause we matter most

It keeps us on solid ground

It reveals the joy we found

It shows the journey

Meant for us only

It shows faith is the key

To what’s meant to be

It offers a tender touch

That means so much

It carries us far

Without leaving a scar

It tells a story

In all God’s glory

It removes every cloud

Makes us very proud

It shows what’s real

Too difficult to conceal

It teaches us to live

Shows us how to give

The river

Tomorrow

Tomorrow we’ll see

What’s truly meant to be

We’ll learn to pray

We’ll see God’s way

We’ll have a moment of pleasure

Beyond all measure

Faith will turn us around

Put us on solid ground

We’ll rest in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

We’ll remove all doubt

That God will work things about

We’ll hold hands

Right where love stands

We’ll get stronger

As our day gets longer

We’ll learn what to ignore

As God fills us to the core

We’ll find a home

Where our souls can roam

And life will get better

As we embrace it to the letter

Tomorrow

We’ll see what we’ll gain

Through heartache and pain

God will fill every soul

With what makes it whole

We’ll share a smile

Even laugh a little while

We’ll remember who we are

As we reach for a star

We’ll hang on God’s word

Cause it’s all we’ve heard

We’ll reach our peak

Whenever we hear God speak

We’ll look straight ahead

Without an ounce of dread

We’ll have God’s affection

We’ll have His protection

We’ll fulfill the dreams

That make us burst at the seams

We’ll see every step we take

All the memories we’ll make

And we’ll let go of our sorrow

Tomorrow

God’s Plan

The dawn of a new day

Another blessing on the way

Yet another journey

Meant for the heart only

Seeing what’s real

What the heart can’t conceal

Seeing our God given purpose

Rise to the surface

Gaining a renewed strength

As we talk with God at length

Faith filling us to the core

Before God offers us more

Looking straight ahead

Without an ounce of dread

Hanging on God’s word

Cause it’s all we’ve heard

Enjoying a moment of pleasure

Beyond all measure

God turning us around

Putting us on solid ground

Feeling His affection

As well as protection

Learning to smile

Even laugh a little while

Learning to stand

As we hold God’s hand

Staying on the right path

Without suffering God’s wrath

Changing our view

When we see what God can do

Sharing every dream

Strange though it may seem

Learning how to live

Learning how to give

Learning how to love

Just like heaven above

Finding a home

Where our souls can roam

Giving as good as we get

With very little regret

Taking one step at a time

While still in our prime

God removing every cloud

Every moment making us proud

Faith making us see

What’s truly meant to be

Doing what we can

As we embrace God’s plan

Like Love

We share all our days

In so many ways

What we have is real

Too difficult to conceal

We hold each other close

Cause bonding matters most

The moments we share

And the dreams we dare

Show God planted the seed

To a blessing indeed

We rest in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

As we rest in the shade

We see the memories we’ve made

This amazing journey

Was meant for us only

Our naysayers we ignore

Cause God filled us to the core

What we have is pure

We feel safe and secure

We know what’s by design

So, everything is fine

Our feet are on solid ground

We share the joy we found

We have no fear

Cause God almighty is near

As we look at heaven above

Everything looks like love

Faith keeps us strong

Whether we’re right or wrong

We’ve reflected on the past

While making every moment last

We share a smile

Even laugh a little while

Faith made us grow

We share what we know

Life gets better

Cause we embrace it to the letter

We’ve found a home

Where our souls can roam

We reach our peak

Whenever we hear God speak

His words keep us going

All while knowing

There’s no doubt

What’s life’s all about

As we look at heaven above

Everything looks like love
