With Everything In Me

I awaken each morning

Heart all all aglow

As I go over everything I know

I count my blessings one by one

And I don’t stop until I’m done

Each and every journey

Is ordained by God only

It isn’t hard to sing His praises

It doesn’t come in phases

I know what’s meant to be

With everything in me

I continue my travels near and far

Faith helps me reach for a star

I ride with the wind everywhere

Cause I know my God is there

I ignore naysayers

Instead I say my prayers

They make me feel secure

Of that I’m sure

I know what’s  meant to be

With everything in me

Never Alone

I face each day

Cause I’m blessed in every way

I have angels on my shoulder

And that makes me better and bolder

Naysayers I ignore

Cause I”m filled to the core

My purpose is clear

And I hold it dear

Dream I dare

Cause I know who’s there

I’m never alone

I love life through and through

Faith tells me what to do

Everything is plain

I see what I can gain

On a solid rock I stand

As I hold God’s hand

He guides and protects me

He shows me who I can be

I have peace of mind

Which is hard to find

I’m never alone

I continue to grow

As I share what I know

Things get better

Cause I love God to the letter

I take Him at His word

It’s all I’ve ever heard

And I know I’m never alone

Just In Time

I was all alone

In a place I’ve never known

I just couldn’t see

What was meant to be

I didn’t understand purpose

I didn’t see it come to the surface

I was too mentally blind

I couldn’t find peace of mind

But God came just in time

I thought I had it all

I thought I wouldn’t fall

I didn’t have a care

I knew nothing about tender loving care

I got through each day

Living my own way

Nothing seemed grand

As I walked across the land

Then God came just in time

I’ve been through the fire

Down to the wire

Searching for my name

I hung my head in shame

Right or wrong

I didn’t know how to be strong

I needed to be clear

About what was near

Then God came just in time

Rebirth

I woke up one day

Seeking a better way

I was in the wrong place

And needed a new space

I heard God calling

My pretenses began falling

It was easy to see

What I was meant to be

Then my journey began

God simply said you can

I learned a great deal

It seemed so surreal

I carry those lessons

As I make confessions

I needed a new view

Despite all I’ve been through

God changed my mind

He’s one of a kind

My new outlook

Was all it took

To see where I needed to go

I’ll share what I know

I’ve got a new name

I wear with no shame

I have a foundation

God built without hesitation

It’s better than anything on earth

I call it a rebirth

After Hours

It’s after hours

And I’m thinking of you

Those moments get me through

I think of your tender touch

Cause it means so much

I think of what we share

It lets me know you care

It’s crystal clear

I love having you near

It’s after hours

And all I want to do

Is get close to you

It feels so pure

It makes me feel secure

It lets me know

There’s room to grow

From one kiss to the last

I’ll remember the past

It’s after hours

They pass every day

I love you in my own way

I remember our stance

As well as our love dance

Nothing ever felt better

God planned it to the letter

One look in your eyes

And it’s no surprise

You fill me to the core

I’ll offer you more

With all my powers

Sometime after hours

For The Sake Of Love

We’ve traveled far and wide

Our feelings we can’t hide

God led the way

Each and every day

We had no fear

Cause faith was near

We held each other close

When it mattered most

We didn’t have a care

We had so much to share

We’ve been through the fire

We have what we desire

And one thing is true

God has carried us through

We’ve fought long and hard

While removing our guard

Faith was the key

We knew what was meant to be

Some thought we wouldn’t last

But we learned from the past

Everything’s set in stone

God will never leave us alone

We’ve done all of the above

For the sake of love

A Long Time Coming

It’s good to see you again

This is where I’ll begin

I’m elated you’re here

I’ll make my feelings clear

It’s been quite a while

Since I’ve seen your smile

I’ve thought of you every day

I wouldn’t have it any other way

You planted the seed

And that’s a blessing indeed

The journey we took

Was worth one look

Life was grand

Whenever you took my hand

Now your back

Giving me everything I lack

You make my heart sing

I love the joy you bring

What we have is real

There’s nothing to conceal

This is another journey

As declared by God only

Nothing could be better

Let’s love each other to the letter

Cause it’s been a long time coming
