Every Moment

Every moment is a day

Filled with God’s way

Every moment is peace

Our hearts won’t release

Every moment we can see

What’s meant to be

Every moment is a journey

Meant for the soul only

Every moment we dance

After our second chance

Every moment we embrace

Takes us to a better place

Every moment we hold hands

Right where love stands

Every moment we reach our peak

When we hear God speak

Every moment is shared in love

Coming from heaven above

Every moment we dream

Strange though it may seem

Every moment is real

Too difficult to conceal

Every moment is a lesson

That has become a confession

Every moment

I Hear

I hear stories of love

That exist in heaven above

I hear stories of the past

How some made moments last

I hear stories of the peace

Only prayer can release

I hear stories of the journey

Ordained by God only

I hear stories of joining hands

Right where love stands

I hear stories of following the light

That shines day and night

I hear stories of a home

Where many souls roam

I hear stories of God’s affection

As well as protection

I hear stories of blessings granted

And many seeds planted

I hear stories of the word

That deserves to be heard

I hear stories of moments shared

And many dreams dared

I hear stories of what God can do

How some made it through

I hear stories of a smile

Lasting quite awhile

I hear stories of God’s miracles

While standing on principles

I hear stories of what’s by design

Why everything is fine

I hear stories of folks in their prime

All the time

I hear stories of a beautiful place

Filled with God’s grace

I hear stories of a loving voice

Making people rejoice

I hear stories of one heartbeat

Where every soul will meet

I hear

Old Folks

I hear old folks talk about the past

How they made every moment last

How they made it through

When they saw what God can do

Why their hearts run free

Why they see what’s meant to be

The beautiful place

Filled with mercy and grace

The road they’ve traveled

Why their souls never unraveled

The unconditional love

Coming from heaven above

How they hold each other close

Cause bonding matters most

Why God’s encouraging word

Is the best they’ve heard

Finding a place

To run their race

How God dried their tears

And removed their fears

And all the dreams

That make them burst at the seams

I hear old folks talk about solid ground

All the joy they’ve found

The affection they feel

Things they know are real

What they chose to ignore

Why they’re filled to the core

When they learned their name

Then let go of their shame

When they looked ahead

Without an ounce of dread

The path God set

Why they let go of regret

How they learned to live

How they learned to give

Why they opened their eyes

To a wonderful surprise

And embraced life

While letting go of strife

Through The Years

Through the years

We’ve laughed and cried

Felt things we couldn’t hide

We’ve seen what God can do

While keeping our love new

We’ve ignored our naysayers

While saying our prayers

We’ve seen some dark days

Yet relied on God’s loving ways

We’ve seen what’s in stone

Realizing we’re not alone

We’ve shared a journey

Meant for us only

We’ve held our faith close

Cause faith matters most

We’ve fallen and risen again

Knowing faith will help us win

We’ve felt the love

Coming from heaven above

We’ve become one

Cause God’s not done

We’ve gone through the fire

To obtain what we desire

Through the years

We’ve felt some sorrow

Yet waited for tomorrow

God has wiped our tears

And removed our fears

We’ve felt moments of pleasure

Beyond all measure

We’ve come very far

We’ve healed every scar

We’ve found a home

Where our souls can roam

We’ve grappled with doubt

But God worked things out

We’ve hung on God’s word

Cause it’s all we’ve heard

We’ve stayed on track

God has provided what we lack

We’ve reached our peak

While hearing God speak

We’ve gotten stronger

As our days have gotten longer

And through stormy weather

We’ve stayed together

Through the years
