When We Touch

When we touch

The moment means so much

We hold each other close

Cause bonding matters most

Faith makes us see

That we’re truly meant to be

We look in each other’s eyes

And it’s no surprise

That God planted a seed

To a blessing indeed

The touch is something pure

It makes us feel secure

It fills every day

In a very special way

It offers something real

It’s too difficult to conceal

When we touch

The moment fills the soul

It makes us whole

It’s ordained by God

We offer a wink and nod

We begin to glow

We share what we know

We see solid ground

As we turn ourselves around

We see the light

We follow day and night

We feel the love

Coming from heaven above

We feel something rare

We know God is there

What we have is by design

Everything is just fine

We’re filled to the core

Nothing else means more

When we touch

Laughing Out Loud

Laughing out loud

Makes us proud

God fills our days

With His loving ways

He makes life complete

Right where we meet

He provides a path

Without unleashing His wrath

He’s part of every journey

Meant for us only

He makes us see

What’s truly meant to be

He fills every cup

He lifts us up

And we rest in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

Laughing out loud

Is what we do

As God carries us through

He sets things in stone

We know we’re not alone

Our purpose is clear

We see God standing near

We feel the love

Coming from heaven above

God holds us close

Cause we matter most

Life gets better

As we embrace it to the letter

Every step we take

Is a memory we’ll make

We look at what we’ve learned

All the stripes we’ve earned

As our life lessons

Become heartfelt confessions

We see all the dreams

That make us burst at the seams

Faith takes us far

Without leaving a scar

We lift one voice

Before we begin to rejoice

Then start laughing out loud

When You Smile

When you smile

Life begins anew

We see what God can do

The way you live

All the love you give

What God sets in stone

Why you’ve never left alone

Your heart you show

As you share what you know

You keep your faith near

What matters most is clear

You become the light

Others follow day and night

You show what’s real

Too difficult to conceal

You plant seeds

That lead to good deeds

You fill every soul

You make life whole

When you smile

God reveals His plan

As soon as He can

You create a space

To run any race

You past every test

As God handles the rest

You survive every storm

You defy every norm

You hold your head high

No need to ask why

You show where you begin

You show you can win

You share every dream

Strange through it may seem

You feel God’s power

Hour after hour

You prove faith is the key

To what’s meant to be

Others gain strength

After talking with you at length

Others see what you share

All your tender loving care

When you smile

Memories

Sitting here alone

With all I’ve ever known

Thinking of what we shared

All the dreams we dared

The tender touch

That meant so much

The journey with you

The things we used to do

What used to fill my soul

What made me whole

What made me feel fine

What I once thought was mine

My very safe space

The moment I saw your face

The sound of your voice

What made me rejoice

Time won’t stall

Until I receive your call

I’ll live with my memories

I think of how you held me

When I saw we were meant to be

My renewed strength

After talking with you at length

The words you spoke

The bond that never broke

All the things I crave

The love you gave

How I let go of fear

Whenever you were near

What you made me feel

How I found something real

Finding solid ground

All the joy I found

When I see you smile

Even laugh a little while

God’s amazing power

Wanting you every hour

The tender kiss

I truly miss

Finally seeing your heart

Where we should start

Time won’t stall

Until I receive your call

I’ll live with my memories

God’s Timing

We sit alone

Wondering what’s set in stone

We wonder what to say

As we begin to pray

We try to fill our days

By changing our ways

Our minds long to be free

While searching for what’s meant to be

We try to plant seeds

That lead to good deeds

We look all around

For solid ground

Before our purpose appears

And God removes our fears

We reach our peak

When we hear God speak

Then keep climbing

With God’s timing

We lie awake

Wondering how much we can take

We long to fill the soul

With what makes it whole

We turn and look ahead

While full of dread

We search for a path

Without unleashing God’s wrath

We try to settle down

Try to remove our frown

We try to ignore our naysayers

As we say our prayers

We try to sit still

While accepting God’s will

We learn as we go

We share what we know

Another chapter begins

Faith finally wins

We learn to stand

While holding God’s hand

And keep climbing

With God’s timing

Seeds

Seeds

Things we always plant

Blessings God will grant

Things set in stone

Why God won’t leave us alone

Things that eventually grow

Things that reveal what we know

What fills every day

How God shows us the way

The lessons we learn

The stripes we earn

How we turn ourselves around

Where we find solid ground

God’s unchanging hand

Where we learn to stand

The encouraging word

We’ve always heard

Seeds

Something we hold close

Cause they matter most

Where we begin again

How we learn to win

Our next chapter

Our joy and laughter

What fills the soul

What makes life whole

The God given purpose

That rises to the surface

The result of prayer

Why God is always there

The journey we take

The memories we make

The warm smile

That last a little while

Looking straight ahead

Without an ounce of dread

Lifting one voice

As we begin to rejoice

The unconditional love

That comes from heaven above

Doing good deeds

All come from seeds
