Soul Searching

We face every day

As God leads the way

We wonder what we’ll find

But God offers peace of mind

Sometimes we stumble

Our experience keeps us humble

We face our naysayers

As we say our prayers

We search high and low

For what will help us grow

Until God sets our path

Without unleashing His wrath

We wonder what we’ll gain

Through heartache and pain

Until we see our purpose

Rising to the surface

We learn to stand

As we hold God’s hand

We grapple with doubt

Until God works things out

We learn as we go

We share what we know

We gain strength

As we talk with God at length

We see the journey ahead

We move without dread

We learn to smile

Even laugh a little while

We listen to a word

That deserves to be heard

We wonder what we’ll hold

As our story is told

Before we see what’s for us

The God we all trust

We run our race

In a safe and secure place

We find a home

Where our souls can roam

We remember who we are

As we reach for a star

We see the lessons learned

All the stripes we’ve earned

Cause faith is the key

To what’s meant to be

Heartbeat

You fill all my days

In very loving ways

You help me stand

With one touch of your hand

You’ve turned me around

Put me on solid ground

Every moment of pleasure

I cherish beyond measure

You are the dream I hold

You’re a story untold

Faith made me see

That we’re meant to be

You give me strength

Whenever we talk at length

You make me smile

Even laugh a little while

You hold me close

Like I matter most

You fill my core

Before you offer me more

You fill my space

With mercy and grace

You’ve given me a home

Where my soul can roam

Everywhere we meet

I feel your heartbeat

Your love fills my soul

It makes me whole

You are the journey

Meant just for me only

You lift me up

You fill my cup

You are the voice

That makes me rejoice

I have no fear

Whenever you’re near

You’re a blessing granted

I’ll water the seeds I planted

Being with you

Makes me feel brand new

You are the purpose

I see lying at the surface

With you I can live

I can give

And I can love

Just like heaven above

Everywhere we meet

I feel your heartbeat
