In My Life

In my life

There’s been heartache and pain

I’ve gone against the grain

I’ve felt alone

Until I met a man on a throne

I’ve lost my way

Until I began to pray

I’ve fallen and risen again

Faith has helped me win

In my life

I’ve struggled with doubt

Until God worked things out

I couldn’t see

What he had for me

I’ve been weak

Until I heard God speak

I finally recognized the love

Sent from heaven above

In my life

I’ve faced everything thrown in my path

Without unleashing my wrath

Everything is crystal clear

I hold my principles dear

It didn’t take me long

To see God keeps me strong

I see something grand

As I hold God’s hand

In my life

I see what’s true

And all God has brought me through

I let things flow

That helps me grow

I have dark moments for sure

But my heart is pure

Everything’s set in stone

God won’t leave me alone

My voice I’ll raise

In a song of praise

For everything in my life

A Quiet Place

I awaken each day

Wondering if I’ll make it through

I see my trials in plain view

I endure the pain

To see what I’ll gain

I often cry

As I wonder why

Then as I look in the mirror

It all becomes clearer

There is a quiet place

Where I can meet God face to face

He’s one of a kind

He eases my mind

I face more than one realizes

I’m always greeted with surprises

I stumble and fall

But God hears me when I call

I dodge life’s darts along the way

I see the price I have to pay

Whenever I reach a breaking point

All I have to do is point

To a quiet place

Where God comforts me

There’s no place I’d rather be

With one touch of His hand

I know where I stand

My heart is pure

That’s for sure

As I run my race

I’ll always think of a quiet place

Every Day

Every day I pray

Every day a blessing comes my way

Every day I gain strength

By talking with God at length

Every day I relinquish doubt

I learn what life is about

Every day I share my love

It was sent from heaven above

Every day God makes it clear

He’s always near

Every day I see

Faith brings out the best in me

I water a seed

And watch it grow indeed

Every day I rise

My resilience takes some by surprise

I know I’ll go far

By reaching for a star

Every day brings something new

I change my point of view

Every day I feel my own power

Hour upon hour

Every day I stand on solid ground

I cherish the joy I’ve found

Every day I learn from the past

I make every moment last

Every day I embrace my purpose

As it comes to the surface

It’s God’s will

He loves me still

I’ll continue to pray

On the right path I’ll stay

Every day

Slowly

Slowly I awaken to the rising sun

I see all that nature has done

As I bow my head in prayer

I sense that God is there

He gives me everything I need

That’s a blessing indeed

Everyone can see

He brings out the best in me

Slowly I venture out

I see what life is about

I learn many lessons along the way

I express gratitude every day

God is my guide

A fact I won’t hide

Yes, it’s true

I see what God brought me through

Slowly I see His plan

I feel it in the palm of His hand

His love is pure

He makes me feel secure

I take nothing for granted

The seeds have been planted

I’ve come to know my own power

I feel it hour upon hour

Slowly I draw the conclusion

That God isn’t an illusion

He turned me around

Put me on solid ground

Let me be clear

I love having Him near

He strengthens me when I’m weak

I listen when I hear Him speak

Nothing can compare

To what we share

I’m far from wholly

But I continue to grow slowly

In Your Arms

In your arms

I find true love

Sent from heaven above

You give me peace

Peace that I won’t release

You offer purity

And a lot of security

You fill me to the core

I want to give you more

In your arms

I find everything I need

You’re a blessing indeed

We’ve embarked on a journey

Ordained by God only

I gain strength

Whenever we talk at length

I love you more each day

I wouldn’t have it any other way

In your arms

I find everything the eye can see

You bring out the best in me

It should be clear

I love having you near

You make my heart sing

With the joy you bring

As we take a stance

In preparation for a lovers dance

I confess that life is grand in your arms
