Victory

We’ve had difficult days

While trying to change our ways

We’ve fallen far

As God healed every scar

We’ve been scorned

Had our hearts torn

We’ve felt ashamed

We’ve been defamed

Until God revealed our purpose

Before it rose to the surface

We’ve felt weak

Before hearing God speak

We’ve grappled with doubt

Before God worked things out

We’ve grappled with fear

Before God held us near

We’ve gotten lost

Not knowing the cost

Until God set our path

Without unleashing His wrath

We’ve worn a frown

As a smile turned upside down

God fought the enemy

We’ve got the victory

We’ve been confused

We’ve been used

We’ve learned to stand

While holding God’s hand

We’ve wondered what we’d find

Before God offered peace of mind

We’ve gone through the storm

Before we broke every norm

We’ve wondered if our soul

Would be made whole

Before we began to heal

Then see what’s real

We’ve lost our voice

Before we began to rejoice

We’ve changed our view

When we saw what God can do

We’ve wondered what’s by design

Wondered if we’d be fine

Until God made us see

What’s meant to be

We’ve faced our naysayers

While saying our prayers

Then God fought the enemy

We’ve got the victory

One Look At You

One look at you

Makes me feel brand new

I can see lovely days

Along with God’s loving ways

Our divine purpose

Lying at the surface

All the moments we share

All the dreams we dare

The love we feel

What we know is real

The ordained journey

Made for us only

Our solid ground

All the joy we found

The perfect peace

Our hearts won’t release

The beautiful home

Where our souls can roam

What we know is pure

What makes us feel secure

The beautiful place

Filled with mercy and grace

The tender kiss

We’ll never miss

One look at you

Turns my gray skies blue

I see the treasure we hold

As our story is told

The love dance

That celebrates our romance

What fills our core

Before God offers us more

The wide smile

That travels a mile

The tender touch

That means so much

Every single chapter

Filled with joy and laughter

When we hold each other near

As God removes our fear

How we survive every storm

Then break every norm

The blessing granted

All the seeds we planted

How we travel far

As God heals every scar

I see what God can do

With one look at you
