We face a new day

As God shows us the way

We pray for strength

As we talk with Him at length

We look straight ahead

Without an ounce of dread

Learning what to ignore

As God fills us to the core

We grapple with doubt

Before God works things out

We carry life lessons

That become heartfelt confessions

We build dreams

That make us burst at the seams

We cherish the peace

Our hearts won’t release

We learn to stand

As we hold God’s hand

We change our view

When we see what God can do

We give as good as we get

With very little regret

God fills every soul

With what makes it whole

We open our eyes

To a wonderful surprise

We learn to smile

Even laugh a little while

We take one step at a time

While still in our prime

We learn our name

As we let go of our shame

We learn how to live

How to give

And how to love

Just like heaven above

We embrace what’s for us

We see the God we trust

We pass every test

Just like all the rest

We find something pure

What makes us feel secure

Without reeling

We start healing
