Silent Prayer

Heavenly Father

Thank you for the precious gift of life

Thank you for removing strife

You guide and direct me every day

And bless me in every way

You keep me strong

As I move along

And I am eternally grateful

Heavenly Father

Your love fills me to my core

That I can’t ignore

Thank you for being present every week

I’ll always listen whenever you speak

I have no fear

Because you’re always near

Heavenly Father

I marvel at what you created

It can’t be duplicated

You keep me on track

By providing everything I lack

You’re one of a kind

You can ease a troubled mind

With a loud voice

I rejoice

You’re second to none

Heavenly Father

Thank you for all you’ve done

Hey black girl, pretty as can be

God created you most definitely

Stay as you are

A bright, shinning star

You are a treasure

Beyond measure

Hey black girl

With skin made of gold

Your story should be told

It’s certainly true

God has carried you through

While others denigrated you

God sat beside you

Hey black girl

You have a purpose

It’s come to the surface

Continue your journey

It’s been ordained by God only

Don’t pretend

That you won’t have a testimony in the end

Hey black girl

You are valuable

No matter what others say

Let God have His way

He’ll give you all you need

To help you succeed

Keep forging ahead

Lovely little black girl

August

I woke up and discovered it’s August

Move forward I must

It’s time to change

It’s time to rearrange

Let go of what used to be

Show the world the best of me

It’s August

A new season has arrived

I’ll look at how I’ve thrived

Nothing is the same

I hear God calling my name

I’ve embraced my purpose

I saw it come to the surface

It’s August

One thing I know for sure

I feel more secure

It’s about making the rest of my life

The best of my life

I’ve set the tone

God won’t leave me alone

It’s August

Many more dreams will come true

God will carry me through

He’s my guiding light

He makes my days bright

I’ll go far

By reaching for a star

Move on I must

Because it’s August

Forever

We’ve been through the fire

Right down to the wire

We’ve traveled distances far and wide

The grace and guidance of God we can’t hide

It’s certainly true

Faith brought us through

Even in stormy weather

We’ll love each other forever

To us life has been kind

Prayer has given us peace of mind

Our bond has grown

Because of all the joy we’ve known

We’ll never part

Because God has been present from the start

Even in stormy weather

We’ll love each other forever

Things get better every day

We love each other in a special way

Together we stand

Hand in hand

We feel our power

Hour after hour

Even in stormy weather

We’ll love each other forever

Despite the past

We’ll make our love last

It’s easy to see

We were meant to be

Even in stormy weather

We’ll love each other forever

The Promise

God works consistently every day

He guides us along the way

He’s given us a purpose

It’s come to the surface

Let’s take nothing for granted

The seed has been planted

God is faithful and true

He shows He is timely through and through

To know Him is a pleasure

Beyond all measure

He makes life grand

With one touch of His hand

He’ll never leave us alone

Everything’s been set in stone

He’ll be there from beginning to end

He’ll show us where to begin

He’s given us a voice

Let’s rejoice

For it’s hard to miss

The promise
