Dear God

Dear God,

Thank you for every day

Your very loving way

All the battles you fight

Your guiding light

As you give us strength

Whenever we talk at length

The purpose you made clear

Removing our fear

Turning us around

Putting us on solid ground

Building our dreams

Until we burst at the seams

Giving us pleasure

Beyond all measure

Every single chapter

Filled with joy and laughter

Revealing what’s in stone

For never leaving us alone

The beautiful home

Where our souls can roam

For the smile

That travels about a mile

Things that are real

What we can’t conceal

Dear God,

Thank you for every journey

Meant just for us only

For lifting us up

Filling every cup

Giving us something pure

Making us feel secure

Teaching us to live

Teaching us how to give

For giving us a place

Filled with mercy and grace

The encouraging word

That deserves to be heard

Removing all doubt

That things will work out

For giving us a name

Removing our shame

Helping us stand

With one touch of your hand

Making us see

What’s meant to be

The perfect peace

Our hearts won’t release

Thank you God

One Heartbeat

One heartbeat

Fills every day

As it accepts God’s way

It feels nothing but love

Coming from heaven above

It travels far

As it heals every scar

It stands on solid ground

It shares the joy it found

It sees its purpose

Lying at the surface

It fills the soul

It makes life whole

It lives at home

Where the soul can roam

It lifts everyone up

If fills every cup

It listens to the word

That deserves to be heard

It fills every space

With mercy and grace

It makes everyone smile

Even laugh a little while

And it makes life better

When it’s embraced to the letter

One heartbeat

Wipes every tear

It removes every fear

It sees what’s in stone

It never leaves us alone

It changes our view

When we see what God can do

It reaches its peak

Whenever we hear God speak

It offers moments of pleasure

Beyond all measure

It reveals our mission

It clears our vision

It sees the steps we’ll take

All the memories we’ll make

It offers something pure

It makes us feel secure

It offers a name

It removes our shame

It removes all doubt

That God will work things out

It appears wherever we meet

One heartbeat
