Praying

Praying is a conversation with God

More than a wink and nod

It’s a time to heal

A time to reveal

A time to rebound

From the hurt we found

A time to get close

To what matters most

A time to find a purpose

In what lies beneath the surface

Praying sets us free

It shows what can be

It puts us on solid ground

It can turn our lives around

It provides protection

Instead of rejection

It appears every day

It shows us the way

It provides something pure

It makes us feel secure

It shows what we’ll gain

During heartache and pain

It provides a safe space

As we move from place to place

It goes without saying

We get through life by praying

The Other Side

The other side

Is beautiful and proud

It doesn’t talk too loud

It prays every day

It accepts God’s way

It knows what’s true

It carries us through

It’s the strength we need

It’s a blessing indeed

It will take us far

Without leaving a scar

And it will make us see

What’s meant to be

The other side

Offers solid ground

It can turn our lives around

It is a place

Filled with God’s grace

It fills the soul

It makes life whole

It eases the pain

It shows what we’ll gain

Every step we take

Is a memory we’ll make

On the other side

The Heart

The heart beats consistently

It can feel completely

It gives a love

Sent from heaven above

It can reveal

What’s too difficult to conceal

It stays on course

With very little remorse

It can clearly see

What’s meant to be

And it can remain strong

Whether it’s right or wrong

The heart can sit still

As it accepts God’s will

It can take time

To remember its prime

It can hold memories close

Like they matter most

It can find a purpose

Lying beneath the surface

It can wear a smile

That last quite awhile

It can stand on solid ground

No matter who’s around

It can give the soul a new start

The beating heart

Change

It’s time to change

It’s time to rearrange

Everything we see

What used to be

The dreams we seek

How we reach our peak

What fills our soul

What makes life whole

The things we know

What helps us grow

And the journey

Meant for us only

It’s time to change

And rearrange

Every negative thought

All the nonsense we bought

What we used to fear

What we once held dear

Our brand new purpose

Lying at the surface

And strike a few poses

As we smell the roses

It isn’t strange

It’s time for a change

The Promise

The promise God gives

It ensures He lives

It follows us day after day

It works in its own way

It’s God’s hand

Holding us where we stand

It teaches life lessons

That become heartfelt confessions

It’s the blessings granted

It’s the seeds God planted

And the promise rings true

No matter what we do

The promise is what we hold

It’s a story to be told

All the fears left behind

How we found peace of mind

The moments we shared

The dreams we dared

The God given journey

Meant for us only

The steady beat of the heart

The brand-new start

The soft voice

That makes us rejoice

All leave a witness

To the promise
