A Talk With God

I had a talk with God

Just to start my day

I learned to accept His way

He set my soul free

He revealed what’s meant to be

He gave me strength

As we talked at length

He helped me stand

As He took my hand

The moment was real

Too difficult to conceal

He removed all doubt

That He’d work things out

He gave me affection

As well as protection

He revealed my purpose

Before it rose to the surface

His encouraging word

Needed to be heard

He lifted me up

He filled my cup

And He filled my soul

With what makes it whole

I had a talk with God

It filled me to the core

Before God offered me more

He took me to a place

Filled with mercy and grace

He turned me around

Put me on solid ground

He gave me new life

Before removing the strife

The talk started a new chapter

Filled with joy and laughter

He became the light

I follow day and night

He gave me a voice

Then I began to rejoice

He set things in stone

Reminded me I’m not alone

He taught me lessons

That have become confessions

And I offered a wink and nod

After a talk with God

Getting Happy

Awaking with a smile

Laughing a little while

Doing a victory dance

When given the chance

Counting blessings galore

Until God offers more

Standing in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

Faith turning things around

Suddenly finding solid ground

Telling a story

In all God’s glory

Gaining a renewed strength

After talking with God at length

Life getting better

When it’s embraced to the letter

Hanging on God’s word

Whenever it’s heard

Embracing every journey

Meant for the soul only

Sharing some dreams

Then bursting at the seams

Touching a hand

Knowing where to stand

Changing a view

After seeing what God can do

God filling the soul

With what makes it whole

Suddenly finding a name

Letting go of shame

Letting the light shine

Knowing everything is fine

Getting close to God

With a wink and nod

Feeling God’s affection

Having His protection

Sharing lessons learned

Seeing the stripes earned

Knowing that a silent prayer

Shows God is there

Cherishing every day

Accepting God’s way

Seeing what’s in stone

Never feeling alone

Lifting a voice

Before beginning to rejoice

Looking straight ahead

Without an ounce of dread

Looking at the heart

Then seeing where to start

Never pretending

Cause love is never ending

Breaking Away

Facing every new day

While accepting God’s way

Learning to let go

Of what we used to know

Removing all doubt

That God will work things out

Seeing what’s in stone

Why God won’t leave us alone

Learning what to ignore

As God fills us to the core

Finding a place

Filled with mercy and grace

Always standing our ground

Sharing the joy we found

Embracing God’s affection

Having His protection

Seeing God in every journey

Meant for us only

Hanging on His word

Cause it’s all we’ve heard

Cherishing every treasure

Beyond all measure

Seeing what’s by design

Knowing everything’s fine

Embracing life lessons

That become heartfelt confessions

Letting go of fear

When we see God standing near

Learning to stand

As we hold God’s hand

Taking a rest

After passing every test

Seeing what we hold

As our story is told

Taking one step at a time

While still in our prime

Lifting one voice

As we begin to rejoice

Our hearts running free

When we see what’s meant to be

Changing our view

When we see what God can do

Reaching our peak

Whenever we hear God speak

Gaining a renewed strength

As we talk at length

Knowing love is here to stay

Cause we’re breaking away

The Journey

Facing every day

While accepting God’s way

Traveling a long road

As God carries the load

Embracing what we find

Then finding peace of mind

Ignoring our naysayers

As we say our prayers

Embracing the lessons learned

Seeing the stripes we’ve earned

Learning to stand

As we hold God’s hand

Finding our God given purpose

Lying at the surface

Learning to love

Just like heaven above

Hanging on God’s word

Cause it’s all we’ve heard

Seeing the memories we’ll make

With every step we take

Seeing what’s in stone

Realizing we’re not alone

Starting a new chapter

Filled with joy and laughter

Getting much stronger

As our days get longer

Learning to smile

Even laugh a little while

Resting on solid ground

Sharing the joy we found

Learning how to live

Learning how to give

Learning what fills the soul

What makes life whole

Giving as good as we get

Letting go of regret

Feeling God’s power

Hour after hour

Changing our view

When we see what God can do

Looking straight ahead

Without an ounce of dread

Seeing what’s real

Too difficult to conceal

Seeing what we hold

Hearing the story being told

Finding a place

To run our race

Seeing what’s for us only

The journey
