From Broken To Blessed

We’ve faced every day

While trying to find our way

We’ve felt ashamed

We’ve been defamed

We’ve gotten lost

Not knowing the cost

We’ve grappled with doubt

Until God worked things out

We’ve felt nothing but fear

Then saw God standing near

We’ve faced our naysayers

While saying our prayers

We’ve searched high and low

For what will help us grow

Until God set our path

Without unleashing His wrath

We’ve searched for purpose

Before it rose to the surface

We’ve traveled far

While healing every scar

We’ve felt weak

Before hearing God speak

We’ve often cried

Then saw what couldn’t be denied

We’ve gone from broken to blessed

We’ve learned to let go

Of what we used to know

We’ve looked ahead

While filled with dread

Before we found peace

Our hearts won’t release

We’ve fallen before rising again

Knowing faith would help us win

We’ve gotten turned around

Before finding solid ground

We’ve tried to smile

Even laugh a little while

As God lifted us up

Then filled every cup

We’ve taken one step at a time

While still in our prime

Seeing the steps we’ll take

All the memories we’ll make

We’ve seen a great deal

We know what’s real

We’ve gone from broken to blessed

The Ballad Of You And Me

The day we met

Is one I won’t forget

We took a long walk

We had a long talk

We discussed love

As it comes from above

We held hands

Right where God stands

We took everything in

We saw where to begin

We did a love dance

To celebrate our romance

We sang out loud

The moment made us proud

We felt something real

Too hard to conceal

We found our purpose

Lying at the surface

We found a place

Filled with mercy and grace

We wrote a new chapter

Filled with joy and laughter

We felt brand new

We saw what God can do

We planted seeds

We did good deeds

We held each other close

Cause bonding matters most

We stood on solid ground

We shared the joy we found

We hung on God’s word

Cause that’s all we’ve heard

God filled our core

Before He offered us more

We enjoyed moments of pleasure

Beyond all measure

We saw what was for us

The God we both trust

We shared a smile

We laughed a little while

We gained strength

As we talked at length

We kept going

All while knowing

God led the way

To a brand new day

Still Standing

We face every day

As God makes a way

We fall then rise again

Knowing with faith we’ll win

We’ve been shamed

We’ve been defamed

We’ve been scorned

Had our hearts torn

We’ve gotten lost

Not knowing the cost

Until God turned us around

Put us on solid ground

We grapple with doubt

Until God works things out

We search for purpose

Then see it lying at the surface

We learn as we go

We share what we know

We face our naysayers

As we say our prayers

We suddenly hear a word

That deserves to be heard

We see what we’ll gain

Through heartache and pain

We learn to smile

Even laugh a little while

We hold our faith close

Cause faith matters most

We learn to stand

As we hold God’s hand

We see what we’ve learned

All the stripes we’ve earned

We remember who we are

As we reach for a star

God gives us strength

As we talk with Him at length

We run our race

In a safe and secure place

We see our destiny

We know what’s meant to be

We build our dreams

Until we burst at the seams

We’ve changed our view

Cause we know what God can do

God provides a safe landing

We’re still standing

Falling Into You

I think of you every day

I long to see you come my way

I want to hold you close

Like you matter most

My feelings are real

Too difficult to conceal

I think of your touch

One that means so much

I think of your kiss

One I simply can’t resist

God planted the seed

To a blessing indeed

I see you in every dream

Strange though it may seem

I long for a journey

Meant just for us only

I see us holding hands

Right where love stands

Love has turned me around

Put me on solid ground

I see your face

In just about every place

Hearing your voice

Would make me rejoice

My thoughts provide pleasure

Beyond all measure

You put a move on my heart

Right from the start

My thoughts fill my core

Leave me begging for more

I think of you and smile

I even laugh a little while

I see us traveling far

As we reach for a star

I think of words being spoken

While we give each other a token

I think of the home

Where our souls can roam

I know what’s by design

So, everything will be fine

I see every chapter

Being filled with joy and laughter

I feel brand new

I’m falling into you
