Eyes Wide Open

I see all my days

Along with God’s loving ways

Every moment that feels real

Things I can’t conceal

What feels pure

What makes me feel secure

The ordained journey

Meant just for me only

The unconditional love

That comes from heaven above

All the dreams

That make me burst at the seams

What gives me strength

When I talk with God at length

The beautiful place

Filled with mercy and grace

My divine purpose

As it lies at the surface

What God set in stone

Why He never leaves me alone

What I’ll gain

Through heartache and pain

The perfect peace

My heart will never release

I see what moves my heart

Right from the start

God’s divine power

Hour after hour

What fills my core

Before God offers me more

Why God removes all doubt

That things will work out

The beautiful place

Filled with mercy and grace

What turned me around

Put me on solid ground

How God removed my fear

The moment He held me near

How I survive every storm

Then break every norm

Why every chapter

Is filled with joy and laughter

How God set my path

Without unleashing His wrath

Why He never pretends

Why His love never ends

When I Met You

When I met you

My gray skies turned blue

The moment was brand new

I felt nothing but love

As I looked at heaven above

I felt your hand in mine

And I knew everything was fine

We formed a bond

From here and beyond

You removed my fear

As you held me near

You healed my soul

You made me whole

You turned me around

Put me on solid ground

You filled my core

Before you offered me more

You made me smile

Even laugh a little while

I saw what was in stone

Love wouldn’t leave me alone

You made my dreams

Strange as it seems

You shared the journey

Meant just for me only

When I met you

You put a move on my heart

Right from the start

You gave me a name

As you removed my shame

I saw a blessing granted

I watered the seeds I planted

Faith made me see

That we were meant to be

You lifted me up

You filled my cup

You opened my eyes

To a wonderful surprise

You gave me pleasure

Beyond all measure

You gave me something real

Something I can’t conceal

You gave me a home

Where my soul can roam

You helped me start over again

Knowing faith would win
