Hour After Hour

Hour after hour

We feel God’s power

We embrace the love

That comes from heaven above

We feel perfect peace

Our hearts won’t release

Our souls run free

Faith shows what’s meant to be

We hang on God’s word

Cause it’s all we’ve heard

We rest in a place

Where we run our race

We continue to believe

We see what we can achieve

We learn to smile

We laugh a little while

We stand on solid ground

We share the joy we found

God gives us strength

As we talk with Him length

And we count every blessing

Without stressing

Hour after hour

We embrace every journey

Meant for us only

We lift one voice

As we continue to rejoice

We see what we hold

As our story is told

We share what we’ve learned

We see the stripes we’ve earned

We take one step at a time

While still in our prime

We hold our faith close

Cause our faith matters most

We see what’s for us

We praise the God we trust

We follow His direction

We feel His affection

We see blessings granted

We water the seeds we’ve planted

We learn how to live

How to give

And how to stand

As we hold God’s hand

Hour after hour

In The Spirit

The spirit appears every day

And you wear a smile all day

It offers God’s affection

As well as protection

It sets a path

Without unleashing God’s wrath

It reveals your purpose

Before it rises to the surface

It holds you close

Cause you matter most

It helps you stand

As you hold God’s hand

It sets things in stone

It proves you’re not alone

It offers an encouraging word

That needs to be heard

It changes your view

It shows what God can do

It fills every chapter

With joy and laughter

It fills your soul

And it makes you whole

The spirit is real

Too difficult to conceal

It gives you strength

As you talk with God at length

It fills every journey

Meant for you only

It provides a home

Where your soul can roam

It gives you peace

Your heart won’t release

It’s the precious seed

That becomes a blessing indeed

It provides moments of pleasure

Beyond all measure

It knows your name

Let go of your shame

It rests in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

It offers solid ground

It shows the joy you found

It offers a surprise

When you open your eyes

The spirit

In Full Bloom

We get through the day

As we accept God’s way

We take one step at a time

While still in our prime

We see what lies ahead

Cause faith removes our dread

Prayer makes us see

What’s truly meant to be

We learn as we go

We share what we know

New dreams appear

As God removes our fear

We gain a renewed strength

While talking with God at length

We find our voice

Then begin to rejoice

We learn what to ignore

As God fills us to the core

We give as good as we get

With very little regret

A new chapter begins

Cause faith always wins

We sit in our room

As life comes in full bloom

We set out on a journey

Meant for us only

We carry life lessons

That become heartfelt confessions

We learn to stand

As we hold God’s hand

We hold our faith close

Cause faith matters most

God fills every soul

He makes life whole

The moments we share

The dreams we dare

Show God works consistently

And loves faithfully

We learn to smile

We even laugh a little while

And we sit in our room

As life comes in full bloom

Reflections

Thinking of every day

How God made a way

Thinking of something pure

What makes us feel secure

Thinking of the love

That comes from heaven above

Thinking of the place

Filled with mercy and grace

Thinking of the encouraging word

We’ve always heard

Thinking of the journey

Meant for us only

Thinking of what we’ll gain

Through heartache and pain

Thinking of the perfect peace

Our hearts won’t release

Thinking of holding each other close

Cause our bond matters most

Thinking of the dreams

That make us burst at the seams

Thinking of the home

Where our souls roam

Thinking of the victory dance

After our second chance

Thinking of beautiful things

All the joy life brings

Thinking of what’s in stone

Why God never leaves us alone

Thinking of how we stand

As we hold God’s hand

Thinking of the voice

That makes us rejoice

Thinking of what’s real

Much too difficult to conceal

Thinking of our point of view

Things God can do

Thinking of what’s for us

The God we all trust

Thinking of sharing a smile

Laughing a little while

Thinking of the past

How we made every moment last

Thinking of the next chapter

All the things we’re after
