Broken Wings

October 22, 2024

Broken Wings

You’ve faced every day

Wondering how to make a way

You’ve been shamed

You’ve been defamed

You’ve been scorned

Had your heart torn

You’ve gotten lost

Wondering at what cost

You’ve looked straight ahead

While filled with dread

You’ve wondered what’s in stone

Thought you were all alone

You’ve searched for peace

Your heart can’t release

You’ve longed for the love

That comes from heaven above

You’ve fallen far

While trying to heal every scar

You’ve said a prayer

Wondering if God is there

You’ve looked at the past

Wondered how long you’d last

Watch what prayer brings

God will heal your broken wings

You’ve had a soul

That longs to be made whole

You’ve tried to smile

Even laugh a little while

You’ve grappled with doubt

That things will work out

You’ve tried to see

What’s truly meant to be

You’ve searched for purpose

Before it rose to the surface

You’ve lost your voice

Before beginning to rejoice

You’ve longed for a home

Where your soul can roam

You’ve wondered if your journey

Was meant for you only

You’ve longed for an encouraging word

That deserves to be heard

You’ve had a broken heart

Didn’t know where to start

Watch what prayer brings

God will heal your broken wings

When You Came Along

When you came along

My love began to grow

More than anyone would know

You gave me peace

My heart won’t release

Every moment became real

Too difficult to conceal

You held me close

Like I matter most

You opened my eyes

To a wonderful surprise

You helped me stand

With one touch of your hand

You gave me strength

When we talked at length

You revealed what’s in stone

You never left me alone

You gave me a purpose

Before it rose to the surface

You made me smile

Laugh a little while

And you made me see

We were meant to be

When you came along

All my days

Were filled with your loving ways

You filled my soul

You made me whole

I felt a touch

That meant so much

You gave me a kiss

I simply couldn’t resist

We shared a journey

Meant for two only

You put a move on my heart

Right from the start

You turned me around

Put me on solid ground

I felt your affection

I had your protection

I began to sing

With the joy you bring

God’s word rang true

With the things you do

I saw a treasure

I cherish beyond measure

And right or wrong

Things changed when you came along

Nature

Awaking to sunny days

Feeling God’s loving ways

Watching flowers bloom

While sitting in our room

Inhaling fresh air

Seeing God standing there

Looking at the trees

Caring for the least of these

Planting millions of seeds

That lead to good deeds

Smelling some roses

As we strike a few poses

Embracing planet earth

Seeing how much faith is worth

Hanging on God’s word

Cause that’s all we’ve heard

Counting blessings galore

As God fills us to the core

Standing on solid ground

Sharing the joy we found

Seeing winter, spring, summer, and fall

God answering every call

Seeing what’s by design

Kowing everything is fine

Watching everything grow

Sharing what we know

Finding a home

Where our souls can roam

Changing our view

When we see what God can do

Finding a treasure

Beyond all measure

Learning to smile

Even laugh a little while

Faith lifting us up

God filling our cup

Resting in a garden of pleasure

Beyond all measure

Passing every test

Just like all the rest

Letting go of our fear

Cause God is standing near

Continuing to strive

While we’re still alive

Is our nature

In Full Bloom

Embracing every day

In a very special way

Spreading God’s love

Just like heaven above

Learning life lessons

Sharing heartfelt confessions

Fulfilling our God given purpose

When it rises to the surface

Counting blessings galore

As God fills us to the core

Learning to stand

As God holds our hand

Taking His word with us

Cause in Him we trust

Planting the seeds

That lead to good deeds

Seeing what’s in stone

Realizing we’re not alone

Building new dreams

That make us burst at the seams

Taking one step at a time

While still in our prime

Doing our victory dance

Whenever we get a chance

Embracing the home

Where our souls roam

Learning how to live

Learning how to give

Facing what’s real

Too difficult to conceal

Facing our naysayers

As we say our prayers

Moving without fear

Cause we hold our faith near

Opening our eyes

To a wonderful surprise

Looking to tomorrow

Letting go of our sorrow

Seeing the steps we take

All the memories we’ll make

Sharing a smile

Laughing a little while

Getting much stronger

As our days get longer

We hold are faith close

Cause faith matters most

We embrace beautiful things

All the joy life brings

As we rest in our room

We are in in full bloom
