The Prayer

Heavenly Father,

Thank you for the love

That comes from heaven above

The eternal peace

Our hearts won’t release

The guidance you give

Each day we live

For filling every soul

With what makes it whole

For giving us strength

Whenever we talk at length

The blessings you grant

The seeds you plant

Making us see

What’s truly meant to be

For holding us up

Filling our cup

For turning us around

Putting us on solid ground

And for the lessons

That have become confessions

Heavenly Father,

Thank you for the place

Filled with your amazing grace

For seeing us through

All the wonderful things you do

The passion and pride

We simply cannot hide

The encouraging word

We’ve always heard

The treasure we hold

The story we’ve told

For your unconditional affection

Your guidance and direction

How you set things in stone

For never leaving us alone

For every journey

Meant for us only

Helping us sit still

As we accept your will

Your unmistakable voice

As it makes us rejoice

For removing our fear

For always being near

The joy you bring

Thank you, God,

For everything

When Love Comes Calling

When love comes calling

The heart gets a lift

The soul receives a gift

The mind arrives at peace

The heart won’t release

Every day gets better

When embraced to the letter

The journey is made for two

We see what God can do

We arrive at a place

Filled with mercy and grace

We turn ourselves around

We settle on solid ground

We learn to smile

Even laugh a little while

We reach our peak

Whenever we hear God speak

We hold each other close

Cause our bond matters most

And we give as good as we get

With very little regret

When love comes calling

We feel a touch

That means so much

We’re filled to the core

Before God offers us more

We lift one voice

As we begin to rejoice

We let go of fear

Cause we know God is near

We embrace special things

We see the joy life brings

We see the blessings granted

We water the seeds we’ve planted

We cherish our bond

From here and beyond

We feel God’s affection

We have His protection

We know what we have is real

Too difficult to conceal

And there’s no stalling

When love comes calling

With An Open Heart

With an open heart

We see where to start

Every brand new day

Brings a blessing our way

We embrace what’s in stone

Why God never leaves us alone

We cherish every kiss

Too tender to resist

We begin to move

With nothing to prove

We share a smile

Even laugh a little while

We count every blessing

Without a lot of stressing

We stand on principles

As God performs miracles

We learn as we go

We share what we know

And we share the dreams

That make us burst at the seams

With an open heart

We open our eyes

To a wonderful surprise

We get through every storm

We defy every norm

We pass every test

Just like all the rest

We find a place

To run our race

We listen to a word

That’s the best we’ve heard

We see what’s real

Too difficult to conceal

We learn to stand

As we hold God’s hand

We remove all doubt

That God will work things out

We see what God can do

How we made it through

And we see where to start

With an open heart

Across The Pond

Looking across the pond

At our incredible bond

We’ve come a long way

Things get better every day

As we hold each other close

We see what matters most

We see all the seeds God planted

All the blessings He granted

What He set in stone

Why He never left us alone

We see our love

While looking at heaven above

How we made it through

What God continues to do

How we learned from the past

How we made every moment last

Why we embrace special things

All the joy life brings

Looking across the pond

Where love usually starts

We look into our hearts

As we reflect on the journey

Meant for us only

We feel something pure

Love makes us feel secure

We see our purpose

Rise to the surface

We see faith is the key

To what’s meant to be

We follow the light

That shines day and night

We bear in mind

What offers us peace of mind

We see our stance

We reflect on our love dance

We see our naysayers

We’ve said our prayers

We look back on the years

As we remove our fears

And cherish our bond

As we look across the pond

Just Once

Just once

We face a new day

While accepting God’s way

We learn that trust

Is an absolute must

Just once faith will reveal

What the heart can’t conceal

Just once

we embrace what we’ve learned

And all the stripes we’ve earned

We get much stronger

As our days get longer

Just once

We let go of fear

When we see God standing near

We rest in a place

Filled with God’s amazing grace

We plant the seeds

To very good deeds

Just once

We spread the love

Coming from heaven above

We hold our faith close

Cause faith matters most

We listen to God’s word

Cause it’s the best we’ve heard

Just once

Every frown

Is turned upside down

We embrace the peace

Our hearts won’t release

We face our naysayers

As we say our prayers

And life gets better

As we embrace it to the letter

Just once

We learn to stand

As we hold God’s hand

We cherish every journey

Meant for us only

We remove all doubt

That God will work things out

Faith makes us see

What’s truly meant to be

Just once

We learn as we go

We share what we know

We continue to live

We continue to give

Just once

Breaking Of Day

The breaking of day arrives

Ensuring the soul thrives

We embrace the love

Coming from heaven above

As another journey begins

And faith in God wins

We see what’s in stone

Why God won’t leave us alone

God reveals our purpose

Before it rises to the surface

We do a victory dance

Whenever we get a chance

The moment fills us to the core

Makes us beg for more

We learn to smile

Even laugh a little while

And tender loving care

Shows God is there

The breaking of day is real

Much too difficult to conceal

Our hearts run free

We see what’s meant to be

We turn ourselves around

Then land on solid ground

We follow the right path

Without suffering God’s wrath

We hold each other close

Cause our bond matters most

We see what God can do

How He brought us through

We embrace the new chapter

With joy and laughter

We count the blessings granted

We water the seeds we’ve planted

We learn to smile

Even laugh a little while

We let go of fear

Knowing God is near

We feel His affection

We embrace His protection

Then make our way

Through the breaking of day
