While I

While I pray

I prepare for another day

While I get stronger

My days get longer

While I embrace my journey

I see what’s meant for me only

While I share love

I look at heaven above

While I stumble

The experience makes me humble

While I stand

I hold God’s hand

While I let go of fear

I see God standing near

While I listen to God’s voice

I begin to rejoice

While I share my dreams

I burst at the seams

While I walk

God almighty and I have a talk

While I try

I understand the reasons why

While I let go of regret

I remember what I’ll never forget

And my soul

Becomes whole

While I

Grateful

We face every day

No matter what comes our way

God gives us strength

When we talk with Him at length

We swallow our pride

Knowing He’s our guide

It doesn’t take long

To see where we belong

God removes all doubt

Then change comes about

And life gets better

When we embrace it to the letter

We’re grateful

We ignore our naysayers

As we say our prayers

God sees us through

Everything we do

Every step we take

Is a memory we can make

We’re offered something real

Too difficult to conceal

We continue our race

At our own pace

We fulfill the purpose

We saw lying at the surface

And we’re grateful

The Race

The race starts in the heart

It shows us where to start

It continues in the soul

As it makes life whole

It’s the moment we pray

And the moment we cherish a new day

It’s searching for a purpose

Only to discover it lying at the surface

It’s staying strong

When the road is long

It’s falling and rising again

Then learning to win

The race is a journey

Meant for us only

It leads to solid ground

Before life turns us around

It’s sitting still

As we accept God’s will

It’s continuing to grow

Sharing what we know

It’s heading to a place

Filled with guidance and grace

Then finding a safe space

When we finish the race

Blessed

We face every day

In our own special way

God gives us strength

When we talk with Him at length

He fills the soul

He makes life whole

He walks and talks with us

In Him we trust

He is the light

That shines day and night

He is our guide

Our pride we can’t hide

So we aren’t stressed

Cause we’re blessed

We receive His care

He’s always there

From beginning to end

He doesn’t pretend

We find grace

In a very special place

He lets us know

How we can grow

He keeps us near

We have nothing to fear

So we aren’t stressed

Cause we’re blessed

The Ladder

Careful steps up the ladder we take

Wonderful memories we’ll make

The ladder is the way

We live every day

It’s the way to dreams

That make us burst at the seams

It keeps us strong

Whether we’re right or wrong

It’s a prayer

That shows God is there

And it leads to a place

Filled with grace

The ladder is real

It knows what to reveal

It teaches us to be still

As we accept God’s will

It takes us through the fire

As we obtain what we desire

It helps us grow

As we share what we know

It will take us far

As we reach for a star

it leads to a blessing

Without a lot of stressing

And only faith will matter

When we climb the ladder
