Step By Step

We face every day

While trying to find our way

God is part of every journey

Meant for us only

We get stronger

As our days get longer

Others don’t think we’ll last

But we’ve learned from the past

Our God given purpose

Has risen to the surface

We hang on God’s word

Cause it’s all we’ve heard

We move one moment at a time

While still in our prime

We stand face to face

As we run our race

Faith turned us around

We rest on solid ground

We count every blessing

Without a lot of stressing

Faith soothes every soul

It makes us whole

Our life lessons

Have become confessions

We change our view

As we see what God can do

We see what’s in stone

We realize we’re not alone

We look straight ahead

Without an ounce of dread

Faith teaches us who we are

As we reach for a star

Every day is filled with love

From heaven above

Every day is filled with peace

Our hearts can’t release

Faith has removed all doubt

That God will work things out

We know what’s by design

So, everything is fine

Every day brings us close

Closer than most

We move step by step

Broken Wings

You’ve faced every day

While trying to find your way

You’ve gotten lost

Not knowing the cost

You’ve been shamed

You’ve been defamed

You’ve wondered who you are

While trying to heal every scar

You’ve thought you were alone

When facing every steppingstone

You’ve grappled with fear

Not knowing who was near

You’ve longed for a home

Where your soul can roam

You’ve searched for a place

Filled with mercy and grace

You’ve tried to stand

While reaching for a hand

You’ve turned yourself around

While searching for solid ground

You’ve longed for affection

As well as protection

Then came beautiful things

As God healed your broken wings

You’ve longed for a word

That deserves to be heard

You’ve searched for peace

Your heart can’t release

You’ve looked ahead

While filled with dread

You’ve felt a lot of pain

Along with stress and strain

You’ve tried to smile

Even laugh a little while

You’ve faced several storms

Tried to break a lot of norms

You’ve wondered what’s real

Too difficult to conceal

You’ve wondered what’s by design

If everything will be fine

You’ve longed to fill your soul

With what will make you whole

You’ve longed for a journey

Meant for you only

Then came beautiful things

As God healed your broken wings
