Count your blessings then tell God thank you.

Baby girl

You are worth more than gold

You’re a story untold

You fill every day

With your very loving way

Your smile is a light

Others follow day and night

You hold God’s hand

Right where you stand

You share the journey

Meant for you only

Your sweet voice

Makes others rejoice

Your heart is real

Something you never conceal

God carries you through

Everyone sees the best of you

You are a real treasure

Beyond all measure

You share your dreams

Until you burst at the seams

You provide a place

Filled with mercy and grace

Baby girl

You stand on solid ground

It’s a joy to have you around

You offer affection

And plenty of protection

You share a word

That’s the best we’ve heard

You are the key

To what’s meant to be

You offer something pure

You make others feel safe and secure

You can sit still

You can accept God’s will

You are truly everything

You know what life can bring

You fill the soul

You make life whole

Baby girl

Everyone gathered together in love

Looking at heaven above

Sharing a warm embrace

In a very special place

Reflecting on moments shared

How they knew God cared

Thinking of the good and bad

And all the dreams they had

How they got through every day

How God made a way

Seeing what was set in stone

Why God never left them alone

Mom and Dad providing the key

To what’s meant to be

Knowing their bond is real

Too difficult to conceal

Faith providing solid ground

Everyone sharing the joy they found

Life lessons carried far

As they all reach for a star

Generation after generation

Moving without hesitation

Everyone planting seeds

That lead to good deeds

Sharing an uplifting word

Every voice being heard

Holding each other close

Cause their bond matters most

Sharing very special things

And all that life brings

Things that fill the soul

And make life whole

Mom and Dad creating a path

Without God’s wrath

Sharing every blessing

Without a lot of stressing

And everyone in their prime

And enjoying some family time

Jesus wins in the end.

God is working behind the scenes on your behalf.

Sitting perfectly still

As we accept God’s will

Trying to find a way

To get through every day

Wondering where to start

As we look at the heart

Continuing a journey

Meant for us only

As we wonder what we’ll find

We search for peace of mind

We face our naysayers

As we say our prayers

We search for a guiding light

Both day and night

We try to remove our fear

Not knowing who’s sitting near

We search for our dreams

As strange as it seems

Wondering how far to go

We share what we know

We learn to give as good as we get

With very little regret

We travel far

As we heal every scar

We drop to our knees

As we wonder who to please

We learn life lessons

That become heartfelt confessions

We search for solid ground

Something to turn our lives around

We learn faith is the key

To what’s truly meant to be

We turn every stone

For something to call our own

We finally find God

We give Him a wink and nod

And we learn what makes life whole

For a divided soul

As time goes by

We don’t wonder why

We face every day

We accept God’s way

How He removes our fears

As He dries our tears

How we get stronger

As our days get longer

Why we face our naysayers

As we say our prayers

How we see our purpose

Lying at the surface

How we look at the heart

Right where we start

As time goes by

We see what’s set in stone

Why God never leaves us alone

We see what we crave

And the love God gave

We take the time

To remember our prime

We see the steps we take

We see the memories we make

We see God standing there

With tender loving care

We fall and rise again

But God shows us how to win

We stand on solid ground

We share the joy we found

We learn to smile

Even laugh a little while

We see what’s real

We reveal what the heart can’t conceal

We build a bond

From here and beyond

We reach our peak

When we hear God speak

And we can see why

As time goes by

God never fails.

Give all your burdens to God and He will give you strength.

Sticks and stones

Fill every day

In an immeasurable way

They provide a journey

Meant for us only

The are the lessons we learn

They are the stripes we earn

They give us strength

As we talk to God at length

They give us power

Hour after hour

They help us see

What’s truly meant to be

They are the naysayers we ignore

They fill us to the core

Sticks and stones

Travel far and wide

They’re something we can’t hide

They help us sit still

As we accept God’s will

They are a treasure

We cherish beyond measure

They hold us close

Cause we matter most

They show us what we gain

Through heartache and pain

They can make us settle down

Turn our lives around

They show us how to live

They show us how to give

They show the love

That comes from heaven above

They lift us up

They fill every cup

They show God’s affection

As well as protection

And we see how we grow

We share what we know

Through sticks and stones
