The Race

We face every day

While God leads the way

We tend to stumble

But experience keeps us humble

We gain strength

By talking with God at length

He reveals what’s in stone

He never leaves us alone

Faith turns us around

Keeps us on solid ground

We search for purpose

Until it rises to the surface

We rest at home

Where our souls can roam

We embrace the journey

Cause it’s meant for us only

We break into a smile

We laugh a little while

We feel God’s power

Hour after hour

We hang on the encouraging word

We’ve always heard

We face our naysayers

As we say our prayers

We see what we’ve learned

All the stripes we’ve earned

God gives us a new name

God removes our shame

We remember who we are

As we reach for a star

We cherish every blessing granted

We water the seeds we planted

God fills our core

Before He offers us more

We see what we’ll gain

Through heartache and pain

We fill every chapter

With joy and laughter

Faith removes all doubt

That things will work out

We learn to stand

While holding God’s hand

We reach our destiny

We see what’s meant to be

We see a safe and secure place

When we finish the race

Ordinary Love

We share our days

Along with God’s loving ways

Every moment is real

Too hard to conceal

We never miss

One tender kiss

Every tender touch

Means so much

We build as we go

We share what we know

God planted the seed

To a blessing indeed

We talk consistently

As we bond faithfully

Our hearts beat as one

We know what God has done

We keep going

All while knowing

This journey is for us

In God we trust

God fills our core

Before He offers us more

Every moment of pleasure

We cherish beyond measure

Love lifts us up

It fills our cup

It fills our space

With mercy and grace

We look at each other and smile

Then laugh a little while

We bond at home

Where our souls can roam

We see what’s in stone

God never leaves us alone

We move without fear

Cause God almighty is near

We hold each other close

Cause bonding matters most

We do a love dance

To celebrate our romance

We relish perfect peace

Our hearts won’t release

We hang on God’s word

Cause that’s all we’ve heard

We sit still

We accept God’s will

We look at heaven above

Then see an ordinary love
