Life

Life is all our days

God’s loving ways

The journey we travel

Why our souls never unravel

When we sit still

Why we accept God’s will

The treasure we hold

The story being told

The answered prayer

That shows God is there

The unconditional love

That comes from heaven above

When we hold hands

Right where love stands

The one voice

Used when we rejoice

The heartbeat we feel

What we know is real

When we remove doubt

That God will work things out

And change our view

When we see what God can do

Life is when our souls run free

When we see what’s meant to be

Our God given purpose

Rising to the surface

The solid ground we find

Our peace of mind

The lovely place

Filled with mercy and grace

The encouraging word

We’ve always heard

When we get stronger

As our days get longer

When God removes every cloud

Moments that make us proud

When we see what’s by design

Knowing everything is fine

Looking straight ahead

Without an ounce of dread

Learning what to ignore

As God fills us to the core

Learning to smile

Even laughing a little while

Knowing what’s for us

Seeing the God we trust

And planted seeds

That lead to good deeds

Young Folks

Young folks have dreams

Strange as it seems

They face every day

While finding their way

God gave them a guide

That they just can’t hide

The road is long

But faith keeps them strong

Young folks stay in prayer

Cause they know God is there

They hold each other close

Cause bonding matters most

They hang on God’s word

Cause that’s all they’ve heard

To no surprise

They’re focused on the prize

They know what’s by design

So, everything is fine

They have a home

Where their souls can roam

And young folks have God’s affection

As well as protection

Young folks see what they’ll gain

Through stress and strain

They’ve learned to smile

Even laugh a little while

They have a place

To run their race

They know what lies ahead

They feel no dread

God turned them around

Put them on solid ground

Young folks have no fear

Cause God almighty is near

They’ll learn as they go

They’ll share what they know

They’ll take one step at a time

While still in their prime

God’s not done

Every moment will be second to none

Young folks planted seeds

That lead to good deeds

Here come the young folks

Yesterday

Yesterday

We embraced another day

We accepted God’s way

We gave thanks for the journey

Meant for us only

We planted seeds

That led to good deeds

We found a place

Filled with mercy and grace

We learned faith is the key

To what’s meant to be

We gained strength

By talking with God at length

We saw something real

Too difficult to conceal

We found a home

Where our souls could roam

We opened our eyes

To a wonderful surprise

We learned to let go

Of what we used to know

And life got better

Cause we embraced it to the letter

Yesterday

God dried every tear

He removed every fear

We shared the dreams

That make us burst at the seams

We held each other close

Cause love matters most

We looked straight ahead

Without an ounce of dread

We learned to smile

Even laugh a little while

We acknowledged God

With a wink and nod

God filled every soul

With what makes it whole

We passed another test

Just like all the rest

We reached our peak

After hearing God speak

We found solid ground

We shared the joy we found

God proved He’s able

He invited to His table

And we found our way

Yesterday

Memories

Thinking of you

Things we used to do

Thinking of moments shared

All the dreams we dared

Thinking of seeds God planted

All the blessings He granted

Thinking of the journey

Meant for us only

How we held each other close

Like love matters most

Thinking of a place

Filled with mercy and grace

Thinking of something pure

What makes us feel secure

Thinking of the kiss

We couldn’t resist

Thinking of what we see

What’s truly meant to be

Thinking of solid ground

All the joy we found

Thinking of our hearts

Where love usually starts

Thinking of the encouraging word

We’ve always heard

Thinking of sunny days

God’s loving ways

What filled us to the core

Until God offered us more

Thinking of what helped us stand

As we held God’s hand

Thinking of what’s in stone

Why God never leaves us alone

Thinking of what we hold dear

How God removed every fear

Thinking of the unconditional love

That comes from heaven above

Thinking of the lessons

That have become heartfelt confessions

Thinking of the voice

That always makes us rejoice

Thinking of the prayer

That proves God is always there

Thinking of the God we trust

Cause He has something for us
