Pushing

We’re pushing every day

As God makes a way

We’re pushing as we go

We’ll share what we know

We’re pushing without fear

Cause God almighty is near

We’re pushing new dreams

That make us burst at the seams

We’re pushing for strength

As we talk with God at length

We’re pushing on solid ground

We’ll share the joy we found

We’re pushing the place

Filled with mercy and grace

We’re pushing without a doubt

That God will work things out

We’re pushing ahead

Without an ounce of dread

We’re pushing what’s in stone

We realize we’re not alone

We’re pushing something new

We’ve changed our point of view

We’re pushing for seeds

That lead to good deeds

We’re pushing one voice

Before we begin to rejoice

We’re pushing while knowing

Our faith keeps growing

We’re pushing the peace

Our hearts won’t release

We’re pushing our smile

We’ll laugh a little while

We’re pushing without regret

We’ll give as good as we get

We’re pushing without shame

The world knows our name

We’re pushing life lessons

That will become heartfelt confessions

We’re pushing our way through

We know what God can do

We know what’s for us

In God we trust

We’re pushing

These Eyes

These eyes

Embrace every new day

How God provided a way

They see blessings galore

Why God filled me to the core

They see my purpose

Lying at the surface

They see the strength I’ll gain

Through heartache and pain

They see the home

Where my soul can roam

They removed all doubt

That God will work things out

They know what’s by design

Why everything is fine

They see the steps I’ll take

All the memories I’ll make

They see how God removed every cloud

Moments that make me proud

They see all the dreams

That make me burst at the seams

They see what’s meant to be

How faith set me free

They see inside my soul

Things that make me whole

They see the place

Filled with mercy and grace

They see solid ground

Then share the joy I found

They see the plan

God will reveal when He can

They see the guiding light

That shines day and night

They see the life lessons

That have become heartfelt confessions

They see what lies ahead

Why I’ve let go of dread

They see my new name

Why I let go of the shame

They can see far

How God healed every scar

They see a wonderful surprise

These eyes

The Elders

As I listen to the elders speak

I hear tales of great days

God’s loving ways

All the blessings granted

All the seeds they’ve planted

The road they traveled

Why their souls never unraveled

How they hold their faith close

Why faith matters most

Why love is the key

To what’s meant to be

All the dreams

That make them burst at the seams

Where their souls rest

How they passed every test

The moment they saw what’s real

Things too difficult to conceal

How they get into the word

They’ve always heard

Why they get stronger

As their days get longer

And why they share the love

That comes from heaven above

As I listen to the elders speak

I hear tales of how faith lifted them up

Then filled every cup

The moments that made them proud

Then praise God out loud

How they learned to smile

Even laugh a little while

Why they look straight ahead

Without an ounce of dread

How they reach their peak

Whenever they hear God speak

What’s worth more than gold

Why their story is being told

Their moments of pleasure

Beyond all measure

And how they changed their view

After they saw what God can do

Footprints In The Sand

Footprints in the sand

Appear all over the land

They reveal yesterday and today

How God made a way

Things He set in stone

Why He never leaves us alone

They show the new dreams

That make us burst at the seams

The brand new home

Where our souls roam

How we hang on God’s word

Cause it’s all we’ve heard

Why love is the way

We live every day

Why we always smile

Even laugh a little while

They show the place

Where we run our race

The things we ignore

As God fills us to the core

And they reveal the strength we gain

Through heartache and pain

Footprints in the sand

Appear all over the land

They keep us going

All while knowing

God has a plan

He’ll reveal when He can

They remove our fear

Let us know God is always near

They show faith is the key

To what’s meant to be

They show our solid ground

All the joy we’ve found

They reveal our purpose

Before it rises to the surface

They show God’s guidance and direction

As well as protection

They show what we hold

Why our story will be told

And how we learn to stand

When we see footprints in the sand
