The Stranger

The stranger went on a journey

Meant for Him only

He looked all around

Marveled at what he found

He thanked God for the day

The blessing came His way

He built new dreams

That made him burst at the seams

He got much stronger

As his days got longer

God revealed his purpose

Before it rose to the surface

The stranger felt the love

That comes from heaven above

He felt perfect peace

His heart will never release

He found a home

Where his soul could roam

God helped him stand

As he took God’s hand

He was set free

He knew it was meant to be

And the stranger felt God’s power

Hour after hour

The stranger opened his eyes

To a wonderful surprise

He planted seeds

That led to good deeds

His life lessons

Became heartfelt confessions

He saw what was real

Almost impossible to conceal

He hung on God’s word

Cause that’s all He heard

Life got better

Cause the stranger embraced it to the letter

He saw what was in stone

He knew he wasn’t alone

God granted blessings galore

Before filling the stranger to the core

The stranger cherished each one

He knew what God had done

And the stranger continued the journey

Meant for him only

Thankful

God fills all my days

With His loving ways

He turned me around

Put me on solid ground

He set me free

Now I know what’s meant to be

He gives me moments of pleasure

Beyond all measure

He grants me blessings galore

Before offering me more

He reveals what’s in stone

He never leaves me alone

He gave me a home

Where my soul can roam

He gives me strength

Whenever we talk at length

His encouraging word

Is all I’ve ever heard

He helps me look ahead

Without an ounce of dread

Cause He has a plan

He’ll reveal when He can

He healed my soul

He makes me whole

He lifts me up

He fills my cup

He makes me smile

Even laugh a little while

God teaches me how to live

He teaches me how to give

He teaches me how to love

Just like heaven above

I’ve changed my view

After seeing what He can do

I can take a stand

As I hold His hand

I can learn as I go

I share what I know

I stay on the move

Cause I have nothing to prove

God is the guiding light

I follow day and night

Every day is pure

I feel safe and secure

I’m thankful

Peaceful Living

We enjoy every day

As we accept God’s way

We see our divine purpose

Rise to the surface

As we embrace the journey

Meant for us only

We feel the love

That comes from heaven above

We hold each other close

Cause bonding matters most

We share a smile

That last quite a while

We’ve found solid ground

We share the joy we found

Faith fills every soul

It makes life whole

We face our naysayers

As we say our prayers

We see what’s in stone

We know we’re not alone

We know what’s for us

In God we trust

We know what we’re giving

While we enjoy peaceful living

We plant the seeds

That lead to good deeds

We build new dreams

That make us burst at the seams

We travel far

As we reach for a star

We find a home

Where our souls can roam

God set us free

We see what’s meant to be

We have a treasure

We cherish beyond measure

We hang on God’s word

Cause that’s all we’ve heard

We hold hands

Right where love stands

Cause we’re filled to the core

Before God offers us more

We have a new name

We’ve let go of our shame

So, we keep giving

As we enjoy peaceful living

Victory Dance

I face a new day

As God makes a way

I look at the road I traveled

Then see how my soul never unraveled

I see how I fell and rose again

Knowing faith helped me win

I see the life lessons

That have become heartfelt confessions

I find a beautiful home

Where my soul can roam

I see what’s real

Things difficult to conceal

I changed my view

After seeing what God can do

I have a place

To run my race

Life has gotten better

As I embrace it to the letter

I reach my peak

Whenever I hear God speak

I know what I hold

My story will be told

I have a second chance

So, I’ll do my victory dance

I hang on God’s word

Cause that’s all I’ve heard

I enjoy moments of pleasure

Beyond all measure

I break into a smile

That last quite a while

I get stronger

As my days get longer

I feel the love

That comes from heaven above

I have perfect peace

My heart won’t release

I stay on course

With very little remorse

Cause God has a plan

He’ll reveal when He can

I keep going

All while knowing

My purpose is clear

There’s nothing to fear

I have a second chance

So I’ll do a victory dance
