Stormy Weather

We see clouds every day

But God shows us the way

Fear fills our hearts

Until God shows where love starts

We learn to stand

As we take God’s hand

We stumble here and there

But God offers tender loving care

We pray for strength

As we talk at length

We travel far

While healing every scar

We build new dreams

That make us burst at the seams

We lift one voice

As we begin to rejoice

We get turned around

Until God puts us on solid ground

We face our naysayers

As we say our prayers

We look up

Then God fills our cup

We give as good as we get

With very little regret

We stay together

During stormy weather

We share a smile

That last quite a while

We hold each other close

Cause bonding matters most

We see what’s put before us

In God we trust

We wonder what’s in stone

But God never leaves us alone

We remember our name

As God removes our shame

We grapple with doubt

Until God works things out

Faith carries us through

We see what God can do

We fulfill the purpose

Lying at the surface

We relish the peace

Our hearts won’t release

We take one step at a time

While still in our prime

We stay together

During stormy weather

A Quiet Place

There is a quiet place

Filled with mercy and grace

Where God offers peace

The heart won’t release

Love begins to overflow

More than some would know

The heart fills with love

From heaven above

God fills the soul

He makes life whole

He holds everyone close

Cause bonding matters most

Every moment is rare

Filled with tender loving care

Souls rest in the home

Where they can freely roam

Brand new dreams appear

God removes every fear

The encouraging word

Is all that’s heard

Life gets better

As it’s embraced to the letter

God fills every day

In a very special way

There is a quiet place

Where people do a victory dance

Whenever they get a chance

God removes every cloud

The moment makes everyone proud

Everyone learns to stand

As they take God’s hand

People lift one voice

As they begin to rejoice

People see what’s real

Too difficult to conceal

A divine purpose

Lies at the surface

Blessings are granted

Seeds are planted

People stand on solid ground

A lot of joy is found

God joins the journey

Meant for the soul only

A smile travels far

While healing every scar

People get filled to the core

Before God offers more

And people see mercy and grace

In a quiet place

Young Folks

I see the young folks

Filled with potential

It isn’t accidental

They were created by God

Let’s offer a wink and nod

They spend their days

Wrapped in God’s ways

They’re filled with energy

It’s certainly meant to be

They raise a unified voice

As they gather and rejoice

They fulfill their purpose

When it rises to the surface

They build the dreams

That make them burst at the seams

They know what to ignore

God fills them to the core

They stand on solid ground

As they share the joy they found

They live in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

Things get better

As they embrace life to the letter

They have God’s affection

As well as protection

And they know what’s in stone

They realize they’re not alone

I see the young folks

Each one standing tall

As God answers their call

They continue to grow

As they share what they know

They look straight ahead

Without an ounce of dread

Knowing God set their path

Without unleashing His wrath

They’re embracing their mission

With crystal clear vision

They’ve opened their hearts

That’s where everything starts

God has shown them pleasure

Beyond all measure

They remember who they are

As they reach for a star

I see their light

It’s a wonderful sight

The young folks

Better Days

We’ve had trials and tribulations

And all sorts of humiliations

We’ve gotten turned around

While searching for solid ground

We’ve searched our hearts

To see where love starts

We’ve searched for our purpose

Until it rose to the surface

We’ve longed for something pure

Cause we felt insecure

We’ve wondered if our journey

Is meant for us only

We’ve prayed for strength

As we talked at length

We’ve longed for a home

Where our souls can roam

We’ve fallen and risen again

Knowing with faith we’d win

We’ve traveled far

While healing every scar

We’ve held each other close

Cause bonding matters most

All these things we’ve done

We’ve become one

Cause in all our ways

We prayed for better days

We’ve learned what to ignore

As God fills us to the core

We’ve grappled with doubt

Until God worked things out

We’ve searched for a place

Filled with mercy and grace

Until God revealed what’s for us

In Him we trust

We’ve embraced life anew

After seeing what God can do

We’ve stumbled here and there

But God offered tender loving care

We’ve lost our voice

Until God taught us to rejoice

We’ve embraced our mission

With crystal clear vision

All these things we’ve done

We’ve become one

Cause in all our ways

We’ve prayed for better days
