To Be Loved

To be loved

Is to share every day

While accepting God’s way

To share every dream

Strange though it may seem

To feel a touch

That means so much

To share a kiss

Too difficult to resist

To share a journey

Meant for every soul only

To know faith is the key

To what’s meant to be

To hold hands

Right where God stands

To listen to a word

That deserves to be heard

To rest in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

To remove all doubt

That God will work things out

And ignoring our naysayers

As we say our prayers

To be loved

Is to follow the light

That shines day and night

To feed every soul

With what makes it whole

To give as good as we get

With very little regret

To find our purpose

Lying at the surface

To share a smile

Even laugh a little while

To learn to let go

Of what we used to know

To do a victory dance

Whenever we get a chance

To let go of dread

As we look straight ahead

To share lessons we’ve learned

See the stripes we’ve earned

To change our view

When we see what God can do

And feel God’s affection

As well as protection

Last Night

Last night

We said a silent prayer

Thanking God for being there

We reflected on the day

How God made a way

We saw footprints in the sand

As God held our hand

We focused on another dream

Strange though it may seem

We got filled to the core

Before God offers us more

We had a talk with God

Which didn’t seem odd

We changed our view

When we saw what God can do

Our purpose became clear

As God removed our fear

We focused on what was pure

What made us feel secure

We saw the plan

God reveals when He can

We learned faith is the key

To what’s meant to be

And we prepared for another journey

Meant for us only

Last night

We saw God’s glory

As we told our story

God’s word moved us

We finally learned to trust

We found a place

Filled with mercy and grace

We held each other close

Cause our bond matters most

We saw another blessing

Faith removed the stressing

Life got better

Cause we embraced it to the letter

Love filled every soul

God made life whole

Our life lessons

Became heartfelt confessions

And we looked ahead

Without an ounce of dread

Reasons

Cherishing every day

As we accept God’s way

Looking into our hearts

To see where love starts

Counting blessings as they land

God helping us stand

Finding solid ground

Sharing the joy we found

Letting go of our doubt

God working things out

Ignoring our naysayers

As we say our prayers

Enjoying a moment of pleasure

Beyond all measure

Feeling the love

Coming from heaven above

Feeling something pure

Feeling safe and secure

Hearing a voice

That makes us rejoice

Telling our story

For all God’s glory

Seeing what’s by design

Knowing everything is fine

Learning to let go

Of what we used to know

God drying every tear

As He removes every fear

Seeing every step we take

All the memories we’ll make

Gaining a renewed strength

As we talk with God at length

Remembering who we are

As we reach for a star

Our hearts running free

Knowing what’s meant to be

Seeing the place

Where we’ll run our race

Holding our faith close

Cause faith matters most

Feeling God’s affection

Having His protection

Seeing something real

Too difficult to conceal

Life getting better

When we embrace it to the letter

Praising God until we done

His work being second to none

Reasons

Lovely Day

Woke up with the sun in my eyes

Such a wonderful surprise

Said a silent prayer

Knowing God was there

I counted blessings galore

Until I was filled to the core

My soul began to roam

In my brand new home

One thing was clear

The grace of God was near

As I prepared for a journey

Meant for me only

I could feel the love

Coming from heaven above

I could see what God can do

It felt like morning dew

Everything was set in stone

I realized I wasn’t alone

I found my purpose

Lying at the surface

Needless to say

It’s a lovely day

I felt God holding me

I knew it was meant to be

I learned a lot of things

Embraced the joy life brings

I broke into a smile

Even laughed a little while

I shared what I learned

I saw the stripes I earned

I did a victory dance

After my second chance

The moment was real

Too difficult to conceal

God’s encouraging word

Was the best I’d heard

I saw solid ground

What was lost was found

I found new dreams

Strange as it seems

I continued my travel

Knowing my soul wouldn’t unravel

Needless to say

It’s a lovely day
