When God Appears

When God appears

The soul is set free

It knows what’s meant to be

We feel the love

Coming from heaven above

We feel a peace

Our hearts won’t release

We embrace every new day

We accept God’s way

We learn to stand

As we hold God’s hand

We hear an encouraging word

That’s the best we’ve heard

We make crystal clear

What we hold dear

We gain a renewed strength

As we talk at length

We get filled to the core

Before God offers us more

And we embrace every journey

Meant for us only

When God appears

We lift one voice

As we begin to rejoice

We do a victory dance

After our second chance

Faith turns us around

Puts us on solid ground

We ignore our naysayers

We continue with our prayers

We hold faith close

Cause faith matters most

We dare to dream

As strange as it may seem

We begin a new chapter

Filled with joy and laughter

We move without fear

God wipes every tear

We see our purpose

Rise to the surface

We see beautiful things

All the joy life brings

And we see what we hold

As our story is told

The Soul Cries Out

The soul longs for love

Coming from heaven above

It longs for peace

Only a silent prayer can release

It searches for a hand to hold

It longs to be bold

It looks all around

Wonders what it found

It searches for a safe place

To run its race

It tries to remove fear

When it sees God standing near

It tries to dream

As strange as it may seem

It faces every day

It tries to find its way

It looks for what’s in stone

It may feel all alone

It longs to smile

Even laugh a little while

It wants to be free

See what’s meant to be

It wants to let go

Of what it used to know

It tries to care

It longs to share

It tries to sit still

As it accepts God’s will

It searches for affection

It longs for protection

It tries to look ahead

Without an ounce of dread

It wants to reveal

What the heart can’t conceal

It tries to be strong

Be it right or wrong

It travels far

It tries to heal every scar

And it won’t pretend

It cries out until the end
