Keep praying to God even after He gives you what you prayed for.

From the shadows I rise

It should come as no surprise

I go through the fire

To obtain what I desire

Life isn’t always fair

But my God is there

He gives me strength

Whenever I talk with Him at length

From the shadows I rise

Like an ocean wave

Faith gives me what I crave

I ignore the naysayers

As I say my prayers

I’m on a mission

I have clear vision

Nothing’s going to stop me

I’ll be the best I can be

From the shadows I rise

Look in my eyes

There’s a wonder to behold

My story will be told

Right or wrong

I know where I belong

I’ll keep going

While knowing

God planted the seed

That’s a blessing indeed

While seeing life in its splendor

My joy I won’t surrender

I’ll take the blows

As I emerge from the shadows

I searched high and low

For something to help me grow

What can I say

I lost my way

I wanted more

Something to fill me to the core

Then God came along

And taught me to be strong

Now everyone can see

I’m in the place to be

I’ve traveled far and wide

My mileage I can’t hide

I learned valuable lessons

While making confessions

I looked around

For solid ground

God led me in the right direction

With plenty of protection

It’s plain to see

I’m in the place to be

I was all alone

Trying to find my zone

I had to learn why

Life made me cry

It was a journey

Meant for me only

God planted the seed

And that’s a blessing indeed

Now I can see

I’m in the place to be

God is calming every storm in your life and turning things around in your favor.

Dear Dr. King

We honor you in a special way

By saying happy birthday

With crystal clear vision

You set out on a mission

You spread love across the land

With the palm of your hand

You had no fear

Cause you knew God was near

You stayed strong

While seeking to right every wrong

You made the world rejoice

With the sound of your voice

You stuck to your principles

As you collected small miracles

They were your guide

You saw no reason to hide

Your faith was the key

You knew what had to be

Then everything ended

You never pretended

You went home

You didn’t have time to roam

You left a legacy behind

It’s stays on the mind

So in our own way

We want to say

Happy birthday

Every time I pray

Every time I lose my way

Every time I’m unsure

Every time I’m insecure

Every time I let go

Every time I grow

Every time I share

Every time I need tender loving care

You’re right there

Every time I dream

Every time things aren’t what they seem

Every time I get weak

Every time I hear my heart speak

Every time I fall

Every time I call

Every time I’m lonely

Every time I start another journey

You’re right there

Every time I wake

Every time I make a mistake

Every time I have something to hold

Every time my story is told

Every time I’m filled with doubt

Every time I work things out

Every time I’m alone

Every time something’s set in stone

You’re right there

You can always count on God during difficult times.

We start each journey

As ordained by God only

We hold hands

As we learn where God stands

The love is real

And we live it with zeal

Dream we dare

Cause we have so much to share

We’ve been blessed indeed

We know we’ll succeed

Our feelings we can’t hide

As we stand side by side

We grow closer each day

We let God lead the way

We go through the fire

To obtain what we desire

We hold each other close

When it matters most

We move as one

Until our days are done

God directed our path

We won’t suffer His wrath

Our feelings we can’t hide

As we stand side by side

I start my journey with the wind at my back

I pray for what I lack

God picks me up when I fall

With no hesitation at all

I spread love

As sent from heaven above

I know where I’m going

And I keep growing

Needless to say

I do things my way

I get better every day

I count blessings along the way

I let go of fear

Cause my God is near

I learn valuable lessons

As I make my confessions

I carry them with me

They make me the best I can be

Needless to say

I do things my way

I follow my guide

My feelings I can’t hide

Every step I take

Is a memory I can make

I’m in a place

Filled with God’s grace

I dare to dream

As strange as it may seem

Needless to say

I do things my way

God is always there. Remember, the Teacher is always quiet during a test.
