The Prayer

Heavenly Father,

Thank you for the love

That comes from heaven above

The perfect peace

Our hearts won’t release

The strength we gain

Through heartache and pain

The daily journey

Meant for us only

Turning us around

Putting us on solid ground

The divine purpose

We see lying at the surface

Every moment that’s pure

Making us feel secure

Holding us close

Cause we matter most

Every single chapter

Filled with joy and laughter

Making us see

What’s truly meant to be

The beautiful home

Where our souls roam

And filling our core

Before you offer us more

Heavenly Father,

You are the beginning, middle and end

On you we can depend

You fill every soul

You make life whole

You are the guiding light

We follow day and night

Thank you for every pleasure

We cherish beyond measure

All the blessings granted

All the seeds we planted

The encouraging word

That deserves to be heard

Creating the way

We live every day

The power we feel

Things we know are real

Helping us stand

As we hold your hand

Creating the place

Where we run our race

We can make it through

As we follow you

Heavenly Father

In Your Arms

In your arms

I can face every day

See how God made a way

I can build as I go

Share what I know

I can feel your strength

As we talk at length

I can build my dreams

Until I burst at the seams

I can stand on solid ground

Share the joy I found

I can fulfill every purpose

Lying at the surface

I can hold my faith close

Cause faith matters most

I can count every blessing granted

Water the seeds I planted

I can run my race

In a safe and secure place

I can enjoy moments of pleasure

Beyond all measure

I can reach my peak

Whenever I hear you speak

And life gets better

Cause I embrace it to the letter

In your arms

I can look at heaven above

Then see nothing but love

I can travel far

As I heal every scar

I can acknowledge God

With a wink and nod

I can see life lessons learned

All the stripes I’ve earned

I can look straight ahead

Without an ounce of dread

Knowing God set our path

Without unleashing His wrath

I can see the steps I’ll take

All the memories I’ll make

I can relish peace

My heart won’t release

In your arms

Heaven

We face another day

Praising God in every way

We prepare for a journey

Meant just for us only

We see our purpose

Lying at the surface

We build our dreams

Until we burst at the seams

We gain strength

By talking with God at length

We hold every moment close

Cause moments matter most

Our naysayers we ignore

As God fills our core

We do a victory dance

To celebrate our second chance

We see what’s in stone

Why God won’t leave us alone

We hang on the encouraging word

We’ve always heard

We reside in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

We move without fear

Cause God almighty is near

We share a smile

That travels about a mile

We fill every chapter

With joy and laughter

We relish perfect peace

Our hearts won’t release

We give as good as we get

With very little regret

We relish every healed soul

What makes life whole

We know what’s by design

So, everything is fine

We have a new name

God removed our shame

We see the steps we’ll take

All the memories we’ll make

We reach our peak

Whenever we hear God speak

We see what we hold

As our story is told

We are in heaven

Only Love

Only love

Can fill every day

Help us live a better way

Fill every soul

Make life whole

Turn us all around

Put us on solid ground

Give us strength

Whenever we talk at length

Fill every chapter

With joy and laughter

Reveal our purpose

Before it rises to the surface

Give us a home

Where our souls can roam

Make us smile

Even laugh a little while

Do a dance

To celebrate our romance

Make us see

What’s truly meant to be

Give us pleasure

Beyond all measure

And make life better

As we embrace it to the letter

Only love

Can hold us close

Like bonding matters most

Complete every journey

Meant just for us only

Change our view

After seeing what God can do

Utter an encouraging word

That deserves to be heard

Be used as a guide

Our gratitude I can’t hide

Build all the dreams

That make us burst at the seams

Lift us up

Fill every cup

Give us something to hold

As our story is told

Give us a place

Filled with mercy and grace

Remove all doubt

That God will work things out

As we look at heaven above

We see only love
