Solid Ground

We face every day

While trying to find our way

We wonder what we’ll find

Before God offers peace of mind

We face our naysayers

As we say our prayers

Our purpose is made clear

So, we move without fear

We stumble here and there

But God offers tender loving care

Our life lessons

Become heartfelt confessions

We search for purpose

Then it rises to the surface

We look straight ahead

While filled with dread

Until God sets our path

Without unleashing His wrath

We grapple with doubt

Before God works things out

We find a place

Filled with mercy and grace

We look at heaven above

And see nothing but love

God turned us around

Then put us on solid ground

We hold our faith close

Cause faith matters most

We’re put to the test

Just like all the rest

We feel weak

Until we hear God speak

We see what’s by design

So, everything is fine

We have God’s affection

As well as protection

We plant seeds

That lead to good deeds

We travel far

While healing every scar

We hold hands

Right where love stands

Life gets better

As we embrace it to the letter

We continue our mission

With crystal clear vision

God turned us around

Then put us on solid ground

The Essence Of You

You fill all my days

In a million different ways

I hold you close

Cause you matter most

You fill me to the core

Leave me begging for more

You’re part of the dreams

That make me burst at the seams

You give me moments of pleasure

Beyond all measure

You’ve given me a home

Where my soul can roam

You offer something pure

You make me feel secure

You’ve turned me around

Put me on solid ground

You make me smile

Even laugh a little while

You are the journey

Meant for me only

As I open my eyes

You offer a wonderful surprise

You set things in stone

You never leave me alone

I can make it through

With the essence of you

You help me grow

By sharing what you know

God planted the seed

To a blessing indeed

Your love takes me far

Without leaving a scar

You make me see

What’s truly meant to be

You are the voice

That makes me rejoice

The thought makes me proud

Makes me sing out loud

You help me stand

With one touch of your hand

I have nothing to fear

Whenever you’re near

You fill every place

With mercy and grace

I can make it through

With the essence of you
