Heaven

We face another day

Praising God in every way

We prepare for a journey

Meant just for us only

We see our purpose

Lying at the surface

We build our dreams

Until we burst at the seams

We gain strength

By talking with God at length

We hold every moment close

Cause moments matter most

Our naysayers we ignore

As God fills our core

We do a victory dance

To celebrate our second chance

We see what’s in stone

Why God won’t leave us alone

We hang on the encouraging word

We’ve always heard

We reside in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

We move without fear

Cause God almighty is near

We share a smile

That travels about a mile

We fill every chapter

With joy and laughter

We relish perfect peace

Our hearts won’t release

We give as good as we get

With very little regret

We relish every healed soul

What makes life whole

We know what’s by design

So, everything is fine

We have a new name

God removed our shame

We see the steps we’ll take

All the memories we’ll make

We reach our peak

Whenever we hear God speak

We see what we hold

As our story is told

We are in heaven

Only Love

Only love

Can fill every day

Help us live a better way

Fill every soul

Make life whole

Turn us all around

Put us on solid ground

Give us strength

Whenever we talk at length

Fill every chapter

With joy and laughter

Reveal our purpose

Before it rises to the surface

Give us a home

Where our souls can roam

Make us smile

Even laugh a little while

Do a dance

To celebrate our romance

Make us see

What’s truly meant to be

Give us pleasure

Beyond all measure

And make life better

As we embrace it to the letter

Only love

Can hold us close

Like bonding matters most

Complete every journey

Meant just for us only

Change our view

After seeing what God can do

Utter an encouraging word

That deserves to be heard

Be used as a guide

Our gratitude I can’t hide

Build all the dreams

That make us burst at the seams

Lift us up

Fill every cup

Give us something to hold

As our story is told

Give us a place

Filled with mercy and grace

Remove all doubt

That God will work things out

As we look at heaven above

We see only love

Out Of The Dark

I’ve faced some difficult days

I’ve had to change my ways

I’ve felt ashamed

I’ve been defamed

I’ve been scorned

Had my heart torn

I’ve felt weak

Before hearing God speak

I’ve gotten lost

Not knowing the cost

I’ve searched high and low

For what will help me grow

Before God set my path

Without unleashing His wrath

I’ve searched for a place

To run my race

Before God turned me around

Put me on solid ground

I’ve lost my voice

Before I began to rejoice

I’ve longed for a home

Where my soul can roam

I’ve fallen far

Before healing every scar

I’ve wondered what I’ll find

Before finding peace of mind

I’ve grappled with doubt

Until God worked things out

I’ve learned to smile

Even laugh a little while

I’ve found something to hold

As my story is told

I’ve changed my view

After seeing what God can do

I’ve gotten filled to the core

Before God offers me more

I’ve wondered how to dream

Strange though it may seem

Before finding my purpose

Lying at the surface

I’ve passed every test

Just like all the rest

I’ve faced many naysayers

While saying my prayers

Before resuming the journey

Meant just for me only

I’m out of the dark

Precious Memories

We reflect on our days

As we embrace God’s loving ways

We see love

Coming from heaven above

We see what made us smile

Even laugh a little while

We see life lessons learned

All the stripes we’ve earned

When faith turned us around

Put us on solid ground

The moment God made us see

What’s truly meant to be

All the blessings granted

All the seeds we planted

Every moment of pleasure

Cherished beyond all measure

How we learned to stand

While holding God’s hand

The moment God gave us a name

Then removed our shame

Every single chapter

Filled with joy and laughter

And how life gets better

When we embrace it to the letter

We see how we made it through

All the things God can do

How we found peace

Our hearts won’t release

The day we removed all doubt

That God will work things out

Every moment we shared

All the dreams we dared

The beautiful place

Filled with mercy and grace

The things we ignored

All the things we adored

Every time we lift one voice

As we begin to rejoice

The encouraging word

That deserves to be heard

What’s truly by design

Why everything is fine

What lies ahead

Without an ounce of dread

What’s meant for us

And the God we all trust
