Dear Mama

Dear Mama,

You’ve been gone a few years

I’ve finally dried the tears

Your life lessons linger still

I know that’s God’s will

I feel you watching me

That’s God’s will you see

The memories I hold dear

Although I miss having you near

Dear Mama,

The love you gave has kept me strong

You’re in my heart as I move along

That’s the seed you planted

I don’t take it for granted

The wonder of you

Carries me through

I think of you each day

I wouldn’t have it any other way

Dear Mama,

You’ve filled me to the core

I wish I could give you more

The sound of your voice

Always makes me rejoice

It’s better than anything I’ve known

You should see how I’ve grown

I hope I’ve made you proud

I’ll say it out loud

One thing I’d tell

Cause it would serve me well

I’ll never forget you

Dear Mama

Lovely Day

I woke up this morning

Heart all aglow

Faith taught me everything I know

I said a silent prayer

Cause I knew God was there

He gave me strength

As we talked at length

Everything He said was true

His words carried me through

No matter what comes my way

It’s going to be a lovely day

I travel to distant places

I see unfamiliar faces

God guides me during my journey

It was ordained by Him only

I continue on my way without knowing

I keep growing

I have no fear

God’s will is clear

No matter what comes my way

It’s going to be a lovely day

I ignore the negative without hesitation

God can handle any situation

That’s the root of His power

I feel it hour upon hour

Everything’s set in stone

He won’t leave me alone

I have no regrets

Life is as good as it gets

No matter what comes my way

It’s going to be a lovely day

I Hear

I hear the voice of God

He said there’s nothing to fear

He’d always be near

I hear the beat of my heart

Something present from the start

I hear birds lifting their voices in song

My pain won’t last long

I hear footsteps in the wind

God will show me where to begin

I hear the sound of hope for sure

Faith keeps my heart pure

I hear laughter

Peace is all I’m after

I hear a joyful soul cry out

I trust God without a doubt

I hear a moan

I know I’m not alone

I hear about paradise

I’ll go without thinking twice

I see and hear what’s clear

I hold it dear

I see and hear what’s real

I live it with zeal

And without fear

I’ll reveal everything I hear

Rebirth

I’ve given up the old for the new

I’ve changed my point of view

Without thought of used to be

I now face reality

I see what I have to gain

By taking the pain

It took a long time

To reach my prime

It started with a prayer

I knew God was there

I was lost but now I’m found

God turned my life around

I’ve searched day and night

For what feels right

Now I see clearly

I’ve found my destiny

Nothing is the same

I know my name

I can say with zeal

I finally feel real

I’m not alone

I stepped out of my comfort zone

For what it’s worth

I’ve undergone a rebirth

When I Hear God Speak

When I hear God speak

It strengthens me when I’m weak

I can find my way

And I pray every day

I count the blessings granted

I water the seeds planted

I feel whole

As God fills my soul

When I hear God speak

I know where I stand

As I take Him by the hand

He gives me everything I need

To know Him is a pleasure indeed

Faith is the key

It brings out the best in me

I have joy in my heart

Cause God’s been there from the start

When I hear God speak

It’s unlike anything I’ve ever known

He won’t leave me alone

He’s my guiding light

With Him, I fight the good fight

I feel His power

Hour upon hour

I can reach my peak

When I hear God speak
