What we see every day

Why God leads the way

When our purpose becomes clear

When God removes our fear

Why we gain strength

Whenever we talk with God at length

When God turns us around

Puts us on solid ground

When we ignore our naysayers

As we say our prayers

When we embrace the journey

Meant just for us only

When faith makes us see

What’s meant to be

When we lift one voice

As we begin to rejoice

When we do a victory dance

To celebrate our second chance

When we run our race

In a safe and secure place

When we relish perfect peace

Our hearts won’t release

When life gets better

As we embrace it to the letter

When we see what’s in stone

Why God won’t leave us alone

When we count blessings granted

Then water the seeds we planted

When God gives us a new name

Then removes our shame

When we get stronger

As our journey gets longer

When we break into a smile

Then laugh a little while

When we look straight ahead

Without an ounce of dread

Knowing what’s for us

In God we trust

When we survive every storm

Then break every norm

What we’ve learned

All the stripes we’ve earned
