Forever Young

Thinking of yesterday

How God made a way

What we used to do

How we made it through

All the moments we shared

All the dreams we dared

What made us strong

Whether we were right or wrong

How we did our dance

When we got a second chance

Hanging on God’s word

Cause it’s all we’ve heard

Thinking of a different time

Before we reached our prime

Remembering how far we traveled

Why our souls never unraveled

How our hearts ran free

When we saw what’s meant to be

Why we sat still

How we accepted God’s will

The silent prayer

That showed God was there

What we learned

All the stripes we earned

When we found a treasure

Beyond all measure

The hand we hold

When our story was told

How we survived all these years

How God removed our fears

Why we share beautiful things

Along with joy life brings

What we left behind

How we found peace of mind

How God kept us close

Cause we matter most

How we saw something real

What our hearts can’t conceal

When we feel God’s affection

And have His protection

When God filled us to the core

Then gave us more

We’re forever young

The Mountain We Climb

We face every day

Knowing God will make a way

The road is long

But faith keeps us strong

Naysayers we ignore

Cause we’re filled to the core

We embrace our mission

With crystal clear vision

Every step we take

Is a memory we’ll make

We hang on God’s word

Cause it’s all we’ve heard

We look at the journey

Meant for us only

Knowing God has a plan

He’ll reveal when He can

We marvel at what we find

We relish our peace of mind

We hold each other close

Cause bonding matters most

Faith removes all doubt

That God will work things out

We see what’s in stone

Why God won’t leave us alone

Obstacles hit us in the face

But we continue our race

We look straight ahead

Without an ounce of dread

Knowing what’s for us

In God we trust

We embrace life lessons

We later call confessions

Every single cloud

Makes us proud

We stand on principles

As God performs miracles

Our journey continues

We receive some good news

Life gets better

As we embrace it to the letter

We recognize every blessing

Without a lot of stressing

And we lift one voice

As we begin to rejoice

Soul Searching

Looking at my heart

To see where to start

Saying a silent prayer

As I see God standing there

Wondering what’s real

What my heart can’t conceal

Wondering about my mission

Trying to clear my vision

Trying to stand

As God holds my hand

Trying to ignore the noise

Trying to show some poise

Thinking of the journey

Meant for me only

Searching for a place

Filled with mercy and grace

Looking for my purpose

While standing at the surface

Wondering how to live

Wondering how to give

Wanting to love

Just like heaven above

Longing for a word

Unlike any I’ve heard

Searching for solid ground

Wondering what I’ve found

Trying to be strong

Thinking of right and wrong

Longing for God’s affection

Needing His protection

Searching for a light

I can follow day and night

Wanting a hand to hold

Wanting my story to be told

Looking at the past

Wanting to make the moment last

Grappling with doubt

Wanting things to work out

Looking at my empty cup

Trying to lift myself up

Looking straight ahead

Without an ounce of dread

Knowing God is working for sure

Giving me something pure

He’ll keep working

As I’m soul searching

Awakening

A new day appears

Faith removes our fears

We embrace a new journey

Meant for us only

We say a silent prayer

Thanking God for being there

He reveals what’s in stone

Why He never leaves us alone

We marvel at what we see

Knowing it’s meant to be

We embrace life lessons

That become heartfelt confessions

Nothing could be better

As we embrace life to the letter

We change our view

When we see what God can do

We count blessings galore

As God fills us to the core

The world learns our name

We let go of the shame

We learn to stand

As we hold God’s hand

Faith removes every cloud

The moment makes us proud

We stay close to God

With a wink and nod

We do a victory dance

When we get a chance

As God fills every soul

With what makes it whole

We rest on solid ground

We share the joy we found

We break into a smile

The smile last a while

God stays by our side

As our loving guide

We gain strength

As we talk with Him at length

We embrace our mission

With crystal clear vision

God never pretends

Cause His love never ends
