The Staircase

The staircase is long and wide

It shows what the heart can’t hide

Each step reveals more

And I’m filled to the core

As it pulls me in

I see how I can win

It sooths and comforts me

I see what I need to see

The staircase

Is all I’ve ever known

It shows how I’ve grown

Right or wrong

It keeps me strong

It provides lessons

As I make confessions

It reveals where God stands

And we hold hands

The staircase

Is all I need

And that’s a blessing indeed

It removes my fear

And keeps God near

It takes me to a place

Filled with God’s grace

And I’ll finish my race

At the top of the staircase

The Long Winding Road

The long winding road

Is a story waiting to be told

God leads the way

Each and every day

On this road you’ll see

What’s meant to be

It provides lessons to share

And dreams to dare

With unconditional love

As sent by heaven above

The long winding road

Provides a purpose

That you’ll see at the surface

Examine what you find

It will ease your mind

Right or wrong

Faith will keep you strong

The long winding road is a journey

Meant for you only

It shows your own power

Embrace it hour upon hour

God will be your guide

His blessings He won’t hide

The road makes clear

What should be held dear

So walk without fear

Down the long winding road

Looking Ahead

I use the past as lessons

While making confessions

I take one step at a time

While still in my prime

I embrace the journey

Meant for me only

I see what I’ll gain

Through heartache and pain

Faith is the key

To who I want to be

God is the reason

For every season

So I move without fear

Cause God is near

Naysayers I ignore

Cause I’m filled to the core

I feel no dread

I’m looking ahead

From Sunrise To Sunset

From sunrise to sunset

We let go of regret

We learn as we go

And we share what we know

God leads the way

And we praise Him every day

Our purpose is clear

We hold it dear

And we spread love

As sent by heaven above

From sunrise to sunset

We reflect on the past

We make every moment last

We embrace what’s true

As we change our point of view

We know we’re blessed

So we’re not stressed

We continue planting seeds

As we do good deeds

We clearly see

Who we’re meant to be

Right or wrong

Faith keeps us strong

We know what’s real

It’s difficult to conceal

And we give as good as we get

From sunrise to sunset

Fire In My Belly

I have a fire in my belly

It won’t go away

It visits me every day

It guides me through and through

It shows me what to do

It’s all I know

It’s how I grow

It takes me to a place

Filled with God’s grace

It’s something pure

It makes me feel secure

It’s something meant to be

It’s a special part of me

It’s a wonderful guide

It’s something I can’t hide

It’s a purpose

That always rises to the surface

And it gives me strength

When I talk with God at length

It puts me on solid ground

No matter who’s around

It’s the fire in my belly

Secret Place

I’m in a secret place

Where there’s no time or space

I start with a prayer

Thanking God for being there

He sends me on my way

And He covers me every day

It’s a place where I’m free

Free to be me

It’s a place that fills my soul

And makes me whole

I’m in a secret place

Where there’s peace of mind

Which is hard to find

A place where lessons

Become nothing but confessions

A place that allows me to see

What’s meant to be

A place where I share my love

As sent from heaven above

And the further I go

The more I grow

This place is beautiful and pure

It makes me feel secure

It’s filled with God’s grace

This secret place
