Goodbye 2018

It’s been a year filled with ups and downs

A year filled with blessings galore

Seed planting and more

A year filled with praise

During all of our days

Goodbye 2018

It’s been a year of lessons learned

A year of applying lessons to life

Despite occasional strife

A year of recognizing the path laid

A year of recognizing the price we’ve paid

Goodbye 2018

God has lead the way

Each and every day

He has kept us strong

All year long

He will continue to do so

Through all we know

Goodbye 2018

The road has been a long and winding one

We should marvel at the work God has done

He has guided us

He has loved us

He’ll continue to provide

Goodbye 2018

We’ll continue to forge ahead

Pray instead

Take a stand

Hold God’s hand

Goodbye 2018

 

In Another Time And Place

I saw your face in another time and place

Where grace followed us closely

We loved each other hungrily

We held hands while we danced

In another time and place

We held each other near

We held our principles dear

We never lost sight of our love

A love blessed from heaven above

In another time and place

We answered God’s call

We stood tall

We lived

We learned

And we yearned

In another time and place

Our love stood the test of time

We were in our prime

God lead the way

Each and every day

In another time and place

We remained strong

As we moved along

We knew what was meant to be

We prayed endlessly

In another time and place

We finished the race

We took nothing for granted

We watered the seeds planted

In another time and place

Forever More

We’ve traveled far and wide

We’ve moved with the ocean’s tide

We’ve laughed and cried together

We’ve endured stormy weather

I know there’s much more in store

I’ll love you forever more

We’ve sorted through chaos and confusion

It’s no illusion

God has lead us by grace

From place to place

I know there’s much more in store

I’ll love you forever more

Our bond will last a life time

It is our destiny

It’s no mystery

We’ll remain strong

As we move along

I know there’s much more in store

I’ll love you forever more

We hold each other near

We hold our principles dear

We’re not alone

We’re guided by the man on the throne

I know there’s much more in store

I’ll love you forever more

 

Beyond Me

I marvel at the beauty that surrounds me

I think of how it all came to be

It’s no mystery

It’s been my faith you see

It’s beyond me

I feel a spirit that won’t leave me alone

I feel it down to the bone

God guides me every day

He blesses me in every way

It’s beyond me

I fall and rise every time

God keeps me in my prime

His love comes from above

It’s sweeter than a dove

It’s beyond me

I’ve traveled far and wide

I’ve been able to keep up with the tide

I feel an abundance of grace

In every place

It’s beyond me

I stand tall

Winter, spring, summer and fall

I see things through and through

I stick to God like glue

It’s beyond me

I’m Free

I’ve let go of the ties that bind me

I’ve let go of what stopped me from loving myself completely

I’m strong

I can move right along

I’m free

I’ve let go of naysayers

Instead, I say my prayers

I see nothing but grace

As I move from place to place

I’m free

I understand my journey every day

I wouldn’t have it any other way

I know I’ll go far

When I reach for a star

I’m free

At one point, I stalled

I ignored God when He called

But never again

I know with Him I’ll win

I’m free

I was blind but now I see

I know what’s meant to be

My principles are clear

I hold them dear

I’m free

Everything’s coming together

Despite stormy weather

A song of praise I sing

For all the joy I feel

I know it’s real

I’m free
