Grateful

You’ve given me all my days

Along with your loving ways

You’ve set my path

Without unleashing your wrath

You’ve made my purpose clear

While removing my fear

You’ve given me strength

Whenever we’ve talked at length

You’ve set things in stone

You’ve shown that I’m not alone

You’ve given me moments of pleasure

Beyond all measure

You’ve given me something pure

Made me feel safe and secure

You’ve turned me around

Put my feet on solid ground

You’ve filled me to the core

Before offering me more

You’ve traveled with me

Revealed what’s meant to be

You’ve given me dreams

That make me burst at the seams

You’ve given me a place

Filled with mercy and grace

For this I’m grateful

Your encouraging word

Is the best thing I’ve heard

You give me perfect peace

My heart won’t release

You fill my soul

With what makes me whole

You’re part of every journey

Meant just for me only

You help me stand

With one touch of your hand

You are the light

I follow day and night

You’ve changed my view

I know what you can do

You make me look ahead

Without an ounce of dread

Cause you have a plan

You’ll reveal when you can

For this I’m grateful

Reflections

Thinking of wonderful days

All God’s loving ways

Our hearts beating as one

Wonderful things God has done

How we made it through

Starting life anew

Why God set things in stone

The love that won’t leave us alone

All the moments we shared

All the dreams we dared

Every single chapter

We filled with joy and laughter

The moment we held hands

Right where God stands

The ordained journey

Meant just for us only

How we gained strength

By talking with God at length

Our sacred love dance

Our second chance

Things we learned to ignore

How God filled us to the core

And how life got better

When we embraced it to the letter

Thinking of the silent prayer

That showed God is there

All the new dreams

That make us burst at the seams

When we lifted one voice

Before we began to rejoice

When we looked straight ahead

Without an ounce of dread

Knowing God set our path

Without unleashing His wrath

The blessings God granted

All the seeds we planted

The beautiful place

Filled with mercy and grace

The moments we treasure

Beyond all measure

The beautiful home

Where our souls can roam

God’s encouraging word

One we’ve always heard

Why we’re sure

Why we feel secure

Before doing it all again

Knowing with faith we’ll win

The Day We Met

The day we met

Is one I’ll never forget

We discussed becoming one

All the things God has done

We discussed our dreams

What makes us burst at the seams

We held each other close

Cause bonding matters most

We embraced the journey

Meant just for us only

We cherished our blessing

Without a lot of stressing

We saw something real

Too difficult to conceal

We did a love dance

To celebrate our romance

We thanked God for love

As well as heaven above

We looked each other in the eyes

We found a wonderful surprise

Faith kept us on course

We felt no remorse

And life got better

Cause we embraced it to the letter

The day we met

Is one I’ll never forget

Our souls were set free

We saw what was meant to be

We shared a smile

That lasted a while

We learned to stand

With the touch of God’s hand

We found something pure

It made us feel secure

That moment of pleasure

We cherish beyond measure

We found a home

Where our souls can roam

Love filled our space

Along with God’s amazing grace

We now hold hands

Right where love stands

We saw blessings everywhere

Cause God was there

I’ll never forget

The day we met
