One Man

One man can love

He can see heaven above

One man can pray

He can brighten every day

One man can fall and rise

He can prepare a surprise

One man can share dreams

Until He burst at the seams

One man can smile

Hold a hand awhile

One man can see

What’s truly meant to be

One man can cry

Without wondering why

One man can find

Peace of mind

One man can find purpose

Lying at the surface

One man can count blessings

Without a lot of stressing

One man can rejoice

When he hears God’s voice

One man can lead

One man can succeed

One man can be a light

That shines day and night

God can devise a plan

For one man

I Remember

I remember a love

Sent by heaven above

I remember laughter

And starting another chapter

I remember the voice

That made me rejoice

I remember heartache and pain

And seeing what I’d gain

I remember a place

Filled with guidance and grace

I remember God’s word

It’s the best I’ve heard

I remember where to stand

As I hold God’s hand

I remember the journey

Meant for me only

I remember counting every blessing

Without a lot of stressing

I remember looking into my heart

And getting a fresh start

I remember everything set in stone

And that God won’t leave me alone

I remember God’s way

And cherishing every day

I remember every touch

I remember

Pure Soul

A pure soul

Makes life whole

It stays close to God

Which isn’t odd

It can feel the love

Sent by heaven above

It is one of a kind

It can find peace of mind

It can let go

Of what it used to know

And it cherishes every day

In it’s own way

The pure soul

Has something to hold

It’s worth more than gold

It takes a journey

Meant for the heart only

It can feel intently

It gives completely

It can thrive

It knows how to survive

And nothing makes life whole

Like a pure soul

I Stand

I stand before God without fear

I feel His arms holding me near

He soothes and comforts me

He shows me who I can be

He gives me strength

As we talk at length

He is the light

I follow day and night

He offers something pure

He makes me feel secure

And every moment we share

Is filled with tender loving care

I stand before God

With a soul that fills complete

This is where God and I meet

I see my purpose

Lying at the surface

I fall and rise again

But faith shows me how to win

I ignore my naysayers

As I say my prayers

God gives me every day

I cherish them in every way

He makes me smile

The smile last awhile

So here I stand

The Weight

The weight is real

It’s something you feel

You feel it in every bone

You feel it while sitting alone

It travels with you

It knows what to do

It’s your pain

It’s the strength you gain

It last long

But it keeps you strong

And it teaches you to pray

Both night and day

The weight will never leave

It will teach you to succeed

It keeps you still

As you accept God’s will

It helps you grow

As you share what you know

It’s a guide to a place

Filled with God’s grace

It’s a guide to solid ground

No matter who’s around

It’s a guide to something great
