Faith is trusting God even when you don’t understand His plan.

Faith is trusting God even when you don’t understand His plan.

Whenever one door closes, God opens another.

We face every day
God shows us the way
We embrace every journey
Meant for us only
We stay by our guide
We do it with pride
God shows what He can do
Faith changed our view
We look straight ahead
Without an ounce of dread
We have no doubt
God will work things out
We know what’s by design
Everything’s just fine
We’ve learned to smile
Even laugh a little while
We hang on God’s word
It’s all we’ve heard
Our souls run free
We know it’s meant to be
God never leaves us alone
He set things in stone
We rest in a place
Filed with mercy and grace
We get stronger
As our days get longer
We see our purpose
Lying at the surface
Our hearts feel pleasure
Beyond all measure
We have a hand to hold
Our story will be told
We feel God’s affection
We have His protection
The seeds have been planted
Blessings have been granted
What we have is rare
We know God is there
We’ve learned from the past
We make every moment last
Faith offers solid ground
We share the joy we found
God never leaves us alone
He set things in stone

Traveling the highways of life
While removing the strife
Hoping God leads the way
Praying for a better day
Looking at every chapter
Longing for joy and laughter
Learning to stand
While taking God’s hand
Feeling stronger for sure
Feeling something pure
Seeing life lessons galore
As God fills cups to the core
Souls running free
Knowing it’s meant to be
Trying to stay on course
With very little remorse
Looking at the road
While God carries the heavy load
Traveling the highways of life
Wondering what we’ll find
Longing for peace of mind
Suddenly seeing purpose
Rise to the surface
Hanging on God’s word
The only thing we’ve heard
Faith removing every cloud
Making God almighty proud
Looking into our hearts
Where every journey starts
Facing something real
Too difficult to conceal
Before arriving at a place
Filled with mercy and grace
Seeing what’s for us
Cause in God we trust
Seeing every step we take
Is a memory we’ll make
Staying in prayer
Cause God almighty is there
We keep going
All while knowing
We’ll reach every blessing
Without a lot of stressing
Telling our story
In all God’s glory
With no need to pretend
Until we reach the end

God is good.

You will not grow if you do not experience being uncomfortable.

Nothing’s too difficult for God.

Never make permanent decisions based on temporary emotions.

I work every day
As I accept God’s way
I follow His path
Without suffering His wrath
I ignore my naysayers
As I say my prayers
I stumble as I go
But faith is all I know
Some think it’s strange
That my voice carries range
Every step I take
Is a memory I’ll make
I learn the lessons of life
The way to remove strife
I hang on God’s word
Cause that’s all I’ve heard
I stay by my guide
I do it with pride
I count every blessing
Without a lot of stressing
Faith set my soul free
I know it’s meant to be
I always smile
I even laugh a little while
I get stronger
As my days get longer
I focus on dreams
Strange as it seems
I remember my name
I’ve let go of shame
I see what’s real
Too difficult to conceal
I love beautiful things
I see the joy life brings
I know what’s by design
Everything’s just fine
My purpose is clear
I move without fear
As I open my eyes
I see every surprise
And I rest in place
Filled with mercy and grace

As I listen to the elders
They speak of yesteryear
How faith removed their fear
How much they’ve grown
The God they’ve always known
Life lessons they’ve learned
All the stripes they’ve earned
How God showed them the way
How they got through each day
The love they feel
How they know it’s real
How they found their voice
When they learned to rejoice
The values they’ve shared
All the dreams they’ve dared
What they saw in stone
Why God wouldn’t leave them alone
Why they always sing
Why they embrace everything
And they speak of solid ground
As well as the joy they found
As I listen to the elders
They speak of a time
One during their prime
What filled their hearts
Where love usually starts
Every journey they’ve had
What makes them glad
What fills their soul
What makes life whole
God’s encouraging word
The one they’ve always heard
How they stay strong
Whether they’re right or wrong
How they fill chapter
With joy and laughter
What lifts them up
What fills their cup
How they honor God
With more than a wink and nod
And how they pass every past
Just like all the rest
