Higher Ground

We face every day

We accept God’s way

We look at our view

And what God brought us through

We share what we know

Seeing we have much further to go

We take a stand

While holding God’s hand

We face our naysayers

As we say our prayers

We learn faith is the key

To what’s meant to be

We face every test

Just like all the rest

Faith keeps us strong

Whether we’re right or wrong

We turn ourselves around

Before reaching higher ground

We face what we feel

Cause it’s too difficult to conceal

We see the journey

Meant for us only

We try not to cave

We accept the love God gave

We count our blessings

Without stressing

We let go of fear

When we see God standing near

Then turn ourselves around

Before reaching solid ground

Cloudy Days

Cloudy days

Appear in many ways

The moments we’re alone

Searching for what’s in stone

Moments we send a prayer

Wondering if God is there

Moments we search for peace

The heart won’t release

Days we seem to fear

Not knowing God is near

Moments we wonder who we are

While reaching for a star

Moments we seem to take

Before we see the memories we’ll make

Learning to stand

As we hold God’s hand

On cloudy days

We wonder where time goes

Before we learn what God knows

We learn to sit still

While we accept God’s will

We get stronger

As our days get longer

We search for affection

As well as protection

We look at what’s real

Too difficult to conceal

We try to rest

After every test

We learn lessons

That become heartfelt confessions

We search every heart

Where everything should start

We struggle with doubt

While God works things out

We search the soul

For what will make it whole

We follow a light

That shines day and night

While changing our ways

On cloudy days

Foolish Heart

Feeling a feeling

That leaves us reeling

Playing that game again

Knowing we won’t win

Wondering if love

Will come from heaven above

Longing to hold a hand

Right where we stand

Looking for something real

What only the heart can reveal

Knowing time will tell

What we know so well

Whispering a silent prayer

Knowing God is there

Until we start

With our foolish heart

Looking straight ahead

With a feeling of dread

Longing to fill the soul

With what will make it whole

Seeing that a tender touch

Means so much

Knowing we’ll reach our peak

When we hear God speak

Wanting some affection

As well as protection

Taking everything one moment at a time

While still in our prime

Being all alone

Until everything is set in stone

Looking for a place

Filled with mercy and grace

Waiting on the plan

God will reveal when He can

Without hesitation

And much anticipation

Until we start

With our foolish heart

The Way Home

Staying on the same road

Knowing God will carry the load

We wonder what we’ll find

As we cherish peace of mind

We move without fear

Cause God almighty is near

Our hearts never stray

God guides us every step of the way

The road is long

But faith keeps us strong

We carry what we learn

We see the stripes we earn

We find our purpose

Rising to the surface

God has His hands on us

In Him we trust

He clears our path

Without unleashing His wrath

Our God given journey

Is meant for us only

The journey takes us far

As we reach for a star

His amazing word

Is the best we’ve heard

We marvel at what we see

We know it’s meant to be

It’s part of a plan

God reveals when He can

We keep going

All while knowing

Every day is a new chapter

Filled with joy and laughter

We never get lost

We know how much faith cost

And our souls never roam

On the way home
