Eyes Wide Open

I see all my days

Along with God’s loving ways

Every moment that feels real

Things I can’t conceal

What feels pure

What makes me feel secure

The ordained journey

Meant just for me only

The unconditional love

That comes from heaven above

All the dreams

That make me burst at the seams

What gives me strength

When I talk with God at length

The beautiful place

Filled with mercy and grace

My divine purpose

As it lies at the surface

What God set in stone

Why He never leaves me alone

What I’ll gain

Through heartache and pain

The perfect peace

My heart will never release

I see what moves my heart

Right from the start

God’s divine power

Hour after hour

What fills my core

Before God offers me more

Why God removes all doubt

That things will work out

The beautiful place

Filled with mercy and grace

What turned me around

Put me on solid ground

How God removed my fear

The moment He held me near

How I survive every storm

Then break every norm

Why every chapter

Is filled with joy and laughter

How God set my path

Without unleashing His wrath

Why He never pretends

Why His love never ends

When I Met You

When I met you

My gray skies turned blue

The moment was brand new

I felt nothing but love

As I looked at heaven above

I felt your hand in mine

And I knew everything was fine

We formed a bond

From here and beyond

You removed my fear

As you held me near

You healed my soul

You made me whole

You turned me around

Put me on solid ground

You filled my core

Before you offered me more

You made me smile

Even laugh a little while

I saw what was in stone

Love wouldn’t leave me alone

You made my dreams

Strange as it seems

You shared the journey

Meant just for me only

When I met you

You put a move on my heart

Right from the start

You gave me a name

As you removed my shame

I saw a blessing granted

I watered the seeds I planted

Faith made me see

That we were meant to be

You lifted me up

You filled my cup

You opened my eyes

To a wonderful surprise

You gave me pleasure

Beyond all measure

You gave me something real

Something I can’t conceal

You gave me a home

Where my soul can roam

You helped me start over again

Knowing faith would win

No Regrets

I’ve had some difficult days

While changing my ways

I’ve faced plenty of scorn

Had my heart torn

I’ve felt ashamed

I’ve been defamed

I’ve fallen far

Before God healed every scar

I’ve gotten lost

Not knowing the cost

I’ve gotten turned around

Then God put me on solid ground

I’ve grappled with fear

Before God held me near

I’ve grappled with doubt

Before God worked things out

I’ve looked ahead

While filled with dread

Until God set my path

Without unleashing His wrath

I’ve wondered what’s for me

What’s meant to be

I’ve searched high and low

For what would help me grow

Until I saw my purpose

Lying at the surface

I have no regrets

I’ve searched for a home

Where my soul could roam

I’ve longed for something real

What would help me heal

What feels pure

What would make me feel secure

Then many blessings were granted

I watered the seeds I planted

I’ve embraced the journey

Meant just for me only

No knowing what I’d find

God gave me peace of mind

I’ve learned to stand

While holding God’s hand

I’ve searched for grace

While moving from place to place

Before God became the guide

Who stood by my side

I have no regrets

Heartstrings

We feel our heartstrings

As we embrace what life brings

We bond every day

While praising God along the way

We move without fear

Cause God almighty is near

Our heartstrings see what’s in stone

God never leaves us alone

They appear in dreams

That make us burst at the seams

They give us pleasure

Beyond all measure

They make us dance

To celebrate our romance

They fill our core

Before God offers us more

They lift us up

They fill our cup

They bring us close

Like love matters most

They travel far

They heal every scar

They give us a home

Where our souls freely roam

Our heartstrings fill every chapter

With joy and laughter

They feel safe and pure

They make us feel secure

The heartstrings are real

Something we can’t conceal

They feel God’s power

Hour after hour

They embrace the word

That deserves to be heard

They embrace a new name

As God removes our shame

They move through every storm

They break every norm

They fill every space

With mercy and grace

They move without a doubt

That things will work out

They start all over again

They show with faith we win

They strengthen our bond

From here and beyond

They are a blessing granted

We’ll water the seeds we planted
