One Love

One love

Can fill heaven above

One love can fill a day

In a very special way

One love can travel far

While healing every scar

One love can offer peace

The heart won’t release

One love can remove fear

Then wipe every tear

One love can fill the soul

Make life whole

One love can plant seeds

That lead to good deeds

One love can offer strength

As we talk with God at length

One love can change a view

Show what God can do

One love is real

Too difficult to conceal

One love can offer a home

Where the soul can roam

One love can provide a light

That shines day and night

One love can remove every cloud

Make everyone proud

One love can change a name

Remove every ounce of shame

One love can fill a heart

Show where we should start

One love can lift one voice

As we begin to rejoice

One love can pass a test

Just like all the rest

One love can ordain a journey

Meant for the soul only

One love can remove our sorrow

Make us look to tomorrow

One love can reveal the word

That needs to be heard

One love can win

As we begin again

One love

Perfect Peace

He will fill every day

In His own special way

He will dry every tear

Remove every fear

He will fill you to the core

Before He offers you more

He will lift you up

He will fill your cup

He will help you stand

With one touch of His hand

He will fill your soul

He will make your life whole

He will give you strength

As you talk with Him at length

He will remove all doubt

That things will work out

He will give you a place

Filled with mercy and grace

He will travel with you

Show what He can do

He will help you dance

After your second chance

He will reveal your purpose

Before it rises to the surface

He will give you perfect peace

He will make you smile

Even laugh a little while

He will reveal what’s in stone

Why you’re never alone

He will teach you how to live

He will teach you how to give

He will teach you how to love

Just like heaven above

He will give you pleasure

Beyond all measure

He will make you see

What’s truly meant to be

He will show you what’s real

Too difficult to conceal

He will turn you around

Put you on solid ground

He will reveal what’s by design

Why everything is fine

He will give you perfect peace

What Old Folks Say

I hear old folks say

They know God will make a way

That His love

Comes from heaven above

That He offers peace

The heart won’t release

That every journey

Is meant for the soul only

That their dreams

Make them burst at the seams

That life is better

Cause they embrace it to the letter

That God gave them a home

Where their souls can roam

That God removed all doubt

He’ll work things out

That He changed their name

Then removed their shame

That blessings were granted

As they watered the seeds they planted

That God’s power

Spreads hour after hour

And that God gave them more

Than they could ask for

I hear old folks say

They have a treasure

They cherish beyond measure

They know what to ignore

As God fills them to the core

That they do a victory dance

Whenever they get a chance

That they hold hands

Right where love stands

That they changed their view

After seeing what God can do

That they get stronger

As their days get longer

That their purpose is clear

So, they move without fear

That faith is the key

To what’s meant to be

That come what may

God will make a way

Is what old folks say

Out Of The Dark

Got lost along the way

But I prayed every day

I remember what I saw

How my heart began to thaw

I hung on the word

That needs to be heard

Then found peace

My heart won’t release

I stumbled here and there

But faith showed God was there

I searched for a home

Where my soul could roam

Before God set my path

Without unleashing His wrath

I finally learned to dream

Strange though it may seem

I learned what to ignore

As God filled me to the core

I finally found solid ground

I share the joy I found

I feel the love

Coming from heaven above

My purpose is clear

So, I move without fear

I broke into a smile

That runs about a mile

I grappled with doubt

Until God worked things out

I passed every test

Just like all the rest

I plant seeds

That lead to good deeds

I looked straight ahead

Heart filled with dread

Until God opened my eyes

To a wonderful surprise

I reached my peak

After hearing God speak

I thought I was alone

But God set things in stone

I see what’s by design

So, everything is fine

I’m out of the dark
