As we look at the hands of time

We see the road traveled

Why our souls never unraveled

We see every day

How God made a way

Everything meant for us

The God we trust

The purpose He made clear

Things we hold dear

Our difficult past

How we made every moment last

All the moments we shared

All the dreams we dared

The path God set

Why we move without regret

How we gained strength

By talking with God at length

What God set in stone

Why God never leaves us alone

The beautiful place

Filled with mercy and grace

And how life gets better

When we embrace it to the letter

As we look at the hands of time

We see what God can do

How we made it through

Our divine purpose

As it rises to the surface

Our moment of pleasure

What we cherish beyond measure

How we’re able to smile

Why we laugh a little while

The beautiful home

Where our souls roam

Every step we take

Every memory we make

What’s by design

Why everything is fine

How we live

How we give

How we love

Just like heaven above

As we look at the hands of time

Dear Mama,

Thank you for the unconditional love

That comes from heaven above

Your guidance and direction

And your fierce protection

Things you set in stone

For never leaving me alone

For lifting me up

Filling my cup

Helping me stand

Every time I took your hand

The discipline you gave every day

Letting me know God will make a way

For every moment we shared

Always showing you cared

For every encouraging word

I ever heard

You are the light

I follow day and night

You make me smile

Even laugh a little while

You filled my soul

With what makes me whole

Thank you for making me see

What’s truly meant to be

You were part of every journey

Meant just for me only

You planted seeds

That lead to good deeds

Thoughts of you fill my heart

Show me where to start

You taught me well

In a positive mindset I dwell

I know you rest in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

Thank you for the path you set

I move without regret

Your life lessons

Have become heartfelt confessions

They keep me strong

Whether I’m right or wrong

They’ve made me last

Despite my checked past

I’m filled to the core

I love you more

Mama

If it keeps you from God, cut it off.

What God has for you is much greater than what you can accomplish on your own. Trust God.

Count your blessings then tell God thank you.

Never underestimate the power of prayer.

When a prayer is answered

We awaken to a new day

We accept God’s way

Faith turns us around

We share the joy we found

God reveals our purpose

Before it rises to the surface

We get much stronger

As our days get longer

The moment eases our fears

God dries all our tears

Looking in the rearview mirror

Makes God’s plan clearer

We finally find a place

Filled with mercy and grace

We ignore our naysayers

As we say our prayers

We find new dreams

Strange as it seems

We find a moment of pleasure

We can all treasure

And life gets better

As we embrace it to the letter

When a prayer is answered

We feel God’s affection

We have His protection

We see what’s for us

In God we trust

We feel the love

Coming from heaven above

We get a second chance

So, we do a victory dance

The moment lifts us up

God fills our cup

We stay on our path

Without suffering God’s wrath

God ordains every journey

Meant for us only

We keep going

All while knowing

God sets things in stone

He’ll never leave us alone

And we find peace

Our hearts won’t release

When a prayer is answered

Facing every day

While trying to accept God’s way

Wondering what’s in store

Until God fills us to the core

Grappling with fear

Not knowing God is near

Looking for unconditional love

Without seeing heaven above

Looking for a hand to hold

Not knowing a story will be told

Traveling from place to place

Without seeing God’s amazing grace

Longing for a God given purpose

Until it rises to the surface

Searching the soul

Until faith makes it whole

Searching for strength

Until we talk with God at length

Looking all around

Until God puts us on solid ground

Looking straight ahead

Finally letting go of dread

Looking at the heart

Until faith shows where to start

Looking for a voice

Until God shows us how to rejoice

Never reaching our peak

Until we hear God speak

Feeling very unsure

Until faith makes us feel secure

Grappling with doubt

Until God works things out

Too busy stressing

Until God pours out a blessing

Trying to learn lessons

That will become heartfelt confessions

Falling and rising again

Before seeing faith helps us win

Wondering what’s in stone

Feeling like we’re all alone

Before learning to smile

Even laugh a little while

Is what prayer gets

As we live with regrets

What God has for you is greater than what you can accomplish on your own.

When God’s hand is on you, nothing can stop you.
