Safe Space

There is a safe space

Where we can run our race

God gives us strength

As we talk with Him at length

Our purpose is clear

So, we move without fear

We feel the unconditional love

That comes from heaven above

We have perfect peace

Our hearts won’t release

We stay on course

Without remorse

Cause God set our path

Without unleashing His wrath

We stumble here and there

But God offers tender loving care

We carry life lessons

That become heartfelt confessions

We learn as we go

We share what we know

God fights every enemy

We know it’s meant to be

And life gets better

As we embrace it to the letter

There is a safe space

Where we can run our race

We stay close to God

By offering a wink and nod

We stand tall

Cause God answers every call

We hold hands

Right where love stands

We have a treasure

We cherish beyond measure

God turned us around

Put us on solid ground

We’ve removed all doubt

That God will work things out

We hang on God’s word

Cause it’s all we’ve heard

We continue the journey

Meant for us only

Cause God has a plan

He’ll reveal when He can

Yes, we’re running our race

In a safe space

Memories

I think of the past

How we made every moment last

The moment love came to us

The God we trust

The journey we embraced

After the uncertainty we faced

How we gained strength

After talking with God at length

Every life lesson we learned

All the stripes we earned

The time we held hands

Right where love stands

The encouraging word

That deserves to be heard

How God keeps us on track

Then gives us what we lack

The beautiful home

Where our souls can roam

The surprise we see

What’s truly meant to be

Why we don’t pretend

Why we love until the end

And when we shared a smile

That lasted quite a while

I think of beautiful days

God’s loving ways

The moment God turned us around

Then put us on solid ground

Things we learned to ignore

After God filled us to the core

The moment we changed our view

After seeing what God can do

The divine purpose

We saw lying at the surface

The moments of pleasure

We enjoyed beyond measure

The perfect peace we feel

Things we know are real

The moment faith made clear

We had nothing to fear

And when we do it again

Knowing we’ll win

Close To You

I think of you every day

Cause I see no other way

You fill my dreams

Strange as it seems

Every moment fills me to the core

They leave me begging for more

I long to hold you close

Cause you matter most

What I feel is real

Too difficult to conceal

God planted the seed

To a blessing indeed

I long to feel your heartbeat

Where my faith and God meet

My thoughts are pure

They make me feel secure

Thoughts of you make me smile

Even laugh a little while

I feel your power

Hour after hour

You are everything

I love the joy you bring

I feel like morning dew

I long to be close to you

I long to hear your voice

Cause it makes me rejoice

I see our purpose

Lying at the surface

I know your name

I feel no shame

I long to feel your kiss

One I can’t resist

I long to feel your touch

Cause it means so much

My thoughts appear morning, noon and night

They are my guiding light

I long to hold your hand

Right where you stand

Cause God made clear

There’s nothing to fear

I feel like morning dew

I long to be close to you

Silence

Sitting perfectly still

As I accept God’s will

Hearing nothing but the word

That deserves to be heard

Reflecting on the journey

Meant just for me only

Thinking of blessings granted

And all the seeds I planted

Hearing no sound

Relishing the joy I found

No words to say

Knowing God made a way

Looking around the room

Knowing I’m in full bloom

Breaking into a smile

Praying a little while

Seeing what’s in stone

Relishing a moment alone

Thinking about the past

Making the moment last

Still not speaking

While my heart is peaking

Gathering thoughts galore

As God fills me to the core

Relishing perfect peace

My heart will never release

Resting in a quiet place

Filled with mercy and grace

Hearing only the voice of God

Then offering a wink and nod

Complete solitude for sure

I feel safe and secure

Perspective I gain

Through heartache and pain

Staying quiet just for reality

The moment is meant to be

Thinking of God’s power

Hour after hour

Learning how to live

Learning how to give

Learning how to love

Just like heaven above

Finally finding my voice

As I rejoice

Starting all over again

Knowing with faith I’ll win

As I sit in silence
