Private Thoughts

Rising once again

Knowing faith helped me win

Looking at heaven above

While thanking God for His love

Preparing for another journey

Meant for me only

Cherishing the place

Filled with mercy and grace

Ignoring the naysayers

As I say my prayers

Finally finding perfect peace

My heart won’t release

Getting much stronger

As my days get longer

Following the path God set

With very little regret

Doing a victory dance

After getting a second chance

Hanging on God’s word

Cause it’s all I’ve heard

Letting my light shine

Cause everything is fine

Passing another test

Just like all the rest

Standing on solid ground

Sharing the joy I found

Counting blessings galore

As God fills me to the core

Feeling God’s affection

Having His protection

Seeing the beautiful home

Where my soul can roam

Sharing my smile

Even laughing a little while

Holding my faith close

Cause faith matters most

Letting go of the doubt

That God will work things out

Seeing what’s in stone

Realizing I’m not alone

Finding a moment of pleasure

Beyond all measure

Seeing what God can do

How He brought me through

Learning how to live

Seeing what I can give

Embracing another day

Cause God provided a way

Another Day

Another day to love

To look at heaven above

Another day we see

What’s truly meant to be

Another day we rest

After passing another test

Another day we embrace

While in a special place

Another day we look ahead

Without an ounce of dread

Another day faith fills every soul

Then makes life whole

Another day to reflect

Our blessings we won’t reject

Another day we travel

Our souls won’t unravel

Another day we get stronger

As the hours get longer

Another day to plant seeds

That lead to good deeds

Another day, more lessons learned

We see the stripes we’ve earned

Another day we smile

Even laugh a little while

Another day we follow the light

That shines day and night

Another day God sets in stone

We know we’re not alone

Another day life gets better

As we embrace it to the letter

Another day to dance

After our second chance

Another day filled with purpose

That rises to the surface

Another day we see solid ground

Then share the joy we found

Another day we’re filled to the core

Before God offers us more

Another day we rise

See a wonderful surprise

Another day we move

We have nothing to prove

Another day

Heartbeat

I feel your heartbeat

Where our souls meet

The beat is real

Too difficult to conceal

Love is the way

We live every day

Faith is the key

To what’s meant to be

All the moments we share

The dreams we dare

Show God is working for us

In Him we trust

Every tender kiss

Is hard to resist

Every tender touch

Means so much

The beat has a home

Where our souls roam

We hold hands

Right where love stands

The beat brings us close

Closer than most

And it makes clear

What we hold dear

I feel your heartbeat

It fills me to the core

Before God offers us more

We take things in stride

Faith is our guide

We know this journey

Is meant for us only

Our bond gets stronger

As our days get longer

We feel God’s affection

We have His protection

We keep going

All while knowing

God planted the seed

To a blessing indeed

The beat makes us smile

Even laugh a little while

We see what God can do

How we made it through

We’ve found a place

Filled with mercy and grace

We have a foundation

We praise God without hesitation

And I feel your heartbeat

Where our souls meet

Where Gratitude Lies

Where gratitude lies

There is foundation in abundance

God fills us to the core

Then offers us more

With each passing day

We accept God’s way

We count every blessing

Without a lot of stressing

Our souls rest in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

We learn to stand

As we hold God’s hand

We see what’s in stone

Why God never leaves us alone

We learn as we go

We share what we know

We remove all doubt

That God will work things out

We ignore our naysayers

As we say our prayers

Our daily journey

Is meant for us only

And we celebrate life and love

Cause they come from heaven above

Where gratitude lies

Our eyes can see

What’s truly meant to be

We find our purpose

Lying at the surface

We look straight ahead

Without an ounce of dread

We get stronger

As our days get longer

We build new dreams

That make us burst at the seams

We hang on God’s word

Cause that’s all we’ve heard

We learn our name

We let go of the shame

We feel God’s power

Hour after hour

We learn to smile

Even laugh a little while

And we see what God can do

How we made it through

Where gratitude lies
