Step By Step

We embark on a journey

Meant just for us only

We marvel at what we find

God gives us peace of mind

We gain strength

As we talk at length

We see what’s in stone

Why God never leaves us alone

We fulfill the divine purpose

We see lying at the surface

Sometimes we stumble

But experience keeps us humble

We build new dreams

Until we burst at the seams

We learn to let go

Of what we used to know

We enjoy moments of pleasure

Beyond all measure

We face our naysayers

As we say our prayers

Knowing God set our path

Without unleashing His wrath

We count blessings granted

We water the seeds we planted

We see nothing but love

Coming from heaven above

We pass every test

Before we take a rest

God fills our core

Before He offers us more

We hang on the word

We’ve always heard

Life gets better

As we embrace it to the letter

We survive the storm

We break every norm

We open our eyes

To a wonderful surprise

We give as good as we get

With very little regret

We remember who we are

As we reach for a star

We see what’s for us

The God we all trust

We see what life brings

We embrace beautiful things

Step by step

Loving Arms

Your loving arms fill my days

They reveal God’s loving ways

They heal my soul

They make me whole

They fill me with purpose

Before it rises to the surface

They build my dreams

Strange though it seems

They remove my fear

As God stands near

They help me stand

As I hold your hand

They make me smile

Even laugh a little while

They fill every place

With mercy and grace

They give me strength

Whenever we talk at length

They remove all doubt

That things will work out

They touch my heart

Show me where to start

They fill my core

Before you offer me more

Your loving arms give me pleasure

Beyond all measure

They help me look ahead

Without an ounce of dread

Knowing God set our path

Without unleashing His wrath

They give me peace

My heart won’t release

They fill every chapter

With joy and laughter

They give me solid ground

I’ll share the joy I found

They open my eyes

To a wonderful surprise

They make me feel brand new

I know what God can do

They give me a home

Where my soul can roam

They give me a name

As they remove my shame

They reveal what’s in stone

Love won’t leave me alone

I feel your charms

While in your loving arms
