Climbing The Ladder

We’re climbing the ladder

Praying so our faith won’t shatter

Embracing the new day

Cause it’s the only way

Taking one step at a time

While still in our prime

Letting go of the past

Trying to make the moment last

Fulfilling the divine purpose

Lying at the surface

Seeing that God is real

Too difficult to conceal

Waiting on the plan

He’ll reveal when He can

Getting much stronger

As the day gets longer

Learning what to ignore

As God fills us to the core

Casting out fear

Cause God almighty is near

And listening to an encouraging word

That needs to be heard

We’re climbing the latter

Nothing else needs to be said

We’ve let go of our dread

We’ve planted seeds

That lead to good deeds

Changed our point of view

After seeing what God can do

The frown has turned to a smile

We’re going to laugh a while

We’ve learned to hold our faith close

Cause faith matters most

We’re enjoying a moment of pleasure

Beyond all measure

We know God is with us

In Him we trust

Our life lessons

Will become heartfelt confessions

God gives us strength

As we talk with Him at length

And we keep going

All while knowing

He’s always there

With His tender loving care

We don’t have to speak

We’ll reach our peak

As we’re climbing the ladder

Love Is

Love is

Sharing all our days

Embracing God’s loving ways

Holding our faith close

Cause faith matters most

Embracing every journey

Meant for us only

Learning to stand

As we hold God’s hand

Learning what to ignore

As God fills us to the core

Letting our souls run free

Cause we know it’s meant to be

Lifting one voice

As we begin to rejoice

Finding our purpose

Lying at the surface

God revealing what’s in stone

Never leaving us alone

Learning how to live

Learning how to give

And resting in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

Love is

Standing on solid ground

Sharing the joy we found

Changing our view

After seeing what God can do

Telling the world our name

Letting go of our shame

Enjoying a moment of pleasure

Beyond all measure

Feeling God’s affection

As well as protection

Learning to smile

Learning to laugh a while

Planting seeds

That lead to good deeds

Looking straight ahead

Without an ounce of dread

Faith filling every soul

God making life whole

Seeing the steps we take

All the memories we’ll make

Falling and rising again

Knowing faith will help us win

Understanding what we hold

Hearing our story be told

And getting stronger

As our days get longer

Love is

Still Standing

We’ve faced every day

While trying to find our way

We’ve been scorned

We’ve had our hearts torn

We’ve been weak

Before we heard God speak

We’ve gotten lost

Not knowing the cost

We’ve traveled far

While healing every scar

We’ve look at our hearts

To see where life starts

We’ve searched for purpose

Then saw it lying at the surface

We’ve wondered what’s in stone

Sometimes felt all alone

We’ve searched heaven above

For the things we love

We tried to smile

Even laugh a little while

We’ve grappled with doubt

Wondered if things would work out

Then faith made a landing

We’re still standing

We’ve searched for a word

That deserves to be heard

We’ve wondered what’s for us

Wondered who to trust

We’ve searched for a home

Where our souls can roam

We’ve wondered how we’d keep living

How to keep giving

If our daily journey

Was really for us only

If the world would know our name

How to let go of our shame

We’ve faced our naysayers

While saying our prayers

While longing for more

Until we were filled to the core

We longed for a moment of pleasure

Beyond all measure

Then faith made a landing

And we’re still standing

At Midnight

We reflect on the day

How God made a way

All the blessings granted

The seeds we’ve planted

The road we’ve traveled

How our souls never unraveled

Every moment we shared

All the dreams we dared

How God filled every soul

What makes us whole

The silent prayer

That shows God is there

How we removed all doubt

That God would work things out

The beautiful home

Where our souls roam

Our wide smile

Why we laugh a little while

All the love

That comes from heaven above

And why we look ahead

Without an ounce of dread

At midnight

We look at lessons learned

All the stripes we’ve earned

The perfect peace

Our hearts won’t release

The victory dance

We do when we get a chance

The encouraging word

We’ve always heard

Our new name

How we let go of our shame

How we learned to sit still

Then accept God’s will

What God can do

All the things we’ve been through

All the steps we’ll take

All the memories we’ll make

What we know is real

Too difficult to conceal

What God put in stone

Why He never leaves us alone

God’s undying affection

As well as protection

At midnight
