Once upon a time

While still in our prime

We shared all our days

God’s loving ways

We talked about dreams

That made us burst at the seams

We saw our purpose

Lying at the surface

We gained strength

While talking with God at length

God turned us around

Put us on solid ground

We let go of our fear

While God stood near

We learned life lessons

That became heartfelt confessions

We held hands

Right where love stands

We looked straight ahead

Without an ounce of dread

Knowing God set our path

Without unleashing His wrath

We lifted one voice

Before we began to rejoice

Once upon a time

While still in our prime

We hung on the word

We’ve always heard

We looked into our hearts

Then saw where love starts

We found a home

Where our souls can roam

We found a place

To run our race

God gave us a name

We let go of our shame

We opened our eyes

To a wonderful surprise

We struck a few poses

While smelling the roses

We began again

Knowing with faith we’d win

We simply let go

Of what we used to know

God was there

With tender loving care

Once upon a time
