Counting Blessings

Counting blessings is what we do

Blessings carry us through

We count them one at a time

While we’re in our prime

We count them every day

In our own special way

Counting blessings is real

Much too difficult to conceal

It’s a special journey

Meant for us only

Counting blessings plants seeds

That lead to good deeds

It helps us grow

It shows what we know

It removes our fear

Cause we know God is near

Counting blessings is a light

That appears day and night

It takes us far

As we reach for a star

It sets things in stone

And we’re never left alone

It shows God’s power

Hour after hour

It is the purpose

We see lying at the surface

It keeps us strong

Whether we’re right or wrong

It keeps us on track

As God gives us what we lack

It offers a smile

That last quite awhile

It keeps us from stressing

Counting blessings

Sleepless Nights

Sleepless nights come and go

They’re all some of us know

They make us think of our days

How to change our ways

The moments we cried

Things we cannot hide

The guiding light

We follow day and night

How to fill our soul

How to make life whole

What we gain

During heartache and pain

God’s amazing grace

How to get to a better place

Sleepless nights are what’s real

Filled with what we can’t conceal

They are what we bear

They are the dreams we share

They consume our hearts

Where everything starts

They provide a journey

Meant for us only

They are the purpose we see

They’re something meant to be

They fill us to the core

Make us pray for something more

They can offer solid ground

They can turn us around

They are the strength

Gained from God at length

They show what life can bring

Sleepless nights mean everything

They are the power

We feel hour after hour

They give us time

To remember our prime

They set things in stone

They can’t leave us alone

They’re always there

They’re what we dare

Sleepless nights

Next Time

Next time we’ll see

What’s meant to be

Next time we’ll love

Just like heaven above

Next time we’ll pray

As we cherish every day

Next time we’ll find

Our peace of mind

Next time we’ll smile

Even laugh for awhile

Next time we’ll go far

As we reach for a star

Next time we’ll rejoice

When we hear God’s voice

Next time we’ll stand

As we hold God’s hand

Next time we’ll dance

Start a new romance

Next time we’ll see a place

Filled with mercy and grace

Next time we’ll let go of fear

When we see God appear

Next time we’ll share dreams

That make us burst at the seams

Next time we’ll hear a word

That’s the best we’ve heard

Next time we’ll follow a light

That shines day and night

Next time we’ll give

Learn how to live

Next time we’ll feel desire

That sets our soul on fire

Next time we’ll share a kiss

Neither of us will miss

Next time

The Open Door

I walked through the open door

It filled me to the core

I started a new chapter

Filled with joy and laughter

I found a new way

To live every day

I said a silent prayer

Thanking God for being there

My heart got stronger

My days got longer

And I shared the love

That came from heaven above

I let go of fear

I saw my purpose appear

God gave me a chance

To do a victory dance

I walked through the open door

Nothing pleased me more

I found a new lease on life

I let of the strife

I found a peace

I’ll never release

I landed on solid ground

It turned my life around

I began to heal

Live my life with zeal

I felt God’s power

Hour after hour

It gave me time

To remember my prime

I heard a word

That was the best I’ve heard

I took a journey

Meant for me only

I let go

Of what I used to know

I felt something pure

I felt safe and secure

And nothing pleased me more

Than walking through the open door

All Our Love

We share our days

In so many ways

Some don’t see

How we’re meant to be

We hold each other close

Cause our bond matters most

We stay in prayer

Cause we know God is there

Right or wrong

We know where we belong

We rest in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

God planted the seed

To a blessing indeed

We’ve let go of fear

Cause God almighty is near

From heaven above

We give all our love

Things are set in stone

God never leaves us alone

We follow His word

Cause it’s the best we’ve heard

We sit perfectly still

As we accept His will

He is the purpose

That rises to the surface

We remember who we are

As we reach for a star

Our lives get better

As we embrace faith to the letter

We rest in a peace

We simply can’t release

We all rejoice

When we hear God’s voice

We’re filled to the core

As we bond even more

It feels so pure

We feel safe and secure

From heaven above

We give all our love
