Reasons

I crave your touch

It means so much

Having you near

Is something I hold dear

God planted the seed

It’s a blessing indeed

Just seeing your smile

Eases my mind a while

Life gets better every day

I wouldn’t have it any other way

These are the reasons

For all four seasons

I embrace our journey

It was ordained by God only

Each and every word

Is the best I’ve ever heard

We continue to survive

We continue to thrive

Tender loving care

Is always there

Naysayers come and go

But naysayers help us grow

These are the reasons

For all four seasons

Higher Ground

Faith has filled us to the core

So we keep reaching for more

We spend day and night

Following God’s guiding light

We search for something real

Something we can’t conceal

Right or wrong

We know where we belong

The love God gave

Is what we crave

No matter who’s around

We’ll keep reaching for higher ground

We search for something to hold

We pray our story will be told

We learn many lessons

Which become confessions

We never forget

We never regret

Time makes us see

What we’re meant to be

And we continue to grow

As we share what we know

So no matter who’s around

We’ll keep reaching for higher ground

Everything’s set in stone

God won’t leave us alone

And no matter who’s around

We’ll keep reaching for higher ground

In Reality

In reality

I see what’s meant for me

I say a prayer

Cause God is there

I face each day

In my own way

I gain strength

By talking to God at length

Naysayers I ignore

As faith offers me more

In reality

I take time

To remember my prime

It was long ago

But it shows what I know

God remained by my side

Gratitude I can’t hide

The journey is real

Something I can’t conceal

And I know I’m meant to be

In reality

Tonight

Tonight I pray

I send praise God’s way

I look at the stars

As God heals my scars

I see what’s great

Despite everything I hate

I embrace tender loving care

Cause it’s always there

And I prepare for a journey

Ordained by God only

Tonight I find

Peace of mind

I see where it stands

As God and I hold hands

I touch a stone

Showing that I’m not alone

I see what God brought me through

He’s sweeter than morning dew

I learn as I go

And I share what I know

Tonight I’m filled to the core

I gain much more

I see God’s plan

He reveals it when He can

I’m in a space

Filled with guidance and grace

I’m on solid ground

I share the joy I’ve found

And I stand in God’s light

Tonight
