Private Thoughts

I cherish all my days

All God’s loving ways

The unconditional love

That comes from heaven above

The perfect peace

My heart won’t release

My divine purpose

As it lies at the surface

What I know is real

Things I can’t conceal

What I know is pure

What makes me feel secure

The beautiful place

Filled with mercy and grace

The God who touches my soul

Then makes me whole

What makes me smile

Even laugh a little while

How God turned me around

Put me on solid ground

All the dreams

That make me burst at the seams

The divine power

I feel hour after hour

I cherish what lifts me up

What fills my cup

The God who fills my core

Before He offers me more

Every moment of pleasure

Beyond all measure

The victory dance

After my second chance

What God set in stone

The fact that I’m not alone

All the blessings granted

All the seeds I’ve planted

My brand new name

How God removed my shame

The answered prayer

That shows God is there

Every encouraging word

That deserves to be heard

How I learned to sit still

While accepting God’s will

The way I look ahead

Without an ounce of dread

Knowing God set my path

Without unleashing His wrath

How I start all over again

Knowing with faith I’ll win

Seasons

Winter brings a chill in the air

But God almighty is there

We gain strength

By talking with Him at length

We embark on a journey

Meant just for us only

We hold each other close

Cause love matters most

We enjoy moments of pleasure

Beyond all measure

We learn to stand

As we hold God’s hand

We fall then rise again

Knowing with faith we win

Spring brings new seeds

Along with good deeds

We start to grow

More than anyone would know

We feel brand new

When we see what God can do

We find our destiny

We see what’s meant to be

We feel God’s power

Hour after hour

Faith fills our core

Before God offers us more

We learn to let go

Of what we used to know

Summer brings sunny days

All God’s loving ways

What God set in stone

The fact that we’re not alone

We feel unconditional love

From heaven above

We move without a doubt

That things will work out

We find our purpose

Lying at the surface

We count the blessings granted

We water the seeds we planted

We cherish what we hold

As our story is told

Fall brings a change of course

With very little remorse

We fill every chapter

With joy and laughter

We see life lessons learned

All the stripes we’ve earned

God gives us a home

Where our souls can roam

We find our voice

We begin to rejoice

We do a victory dance

To celebrate our second chance

We survive the storm

We break every norm

We rest in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

Trials And Tribulations

We face every day

Knowing God will make a way

We stumble here and there

But God offers tender loving care

We grapple with doubt

Until God works things out

We face some scorn

Sometimes our hearts are torn

We grapple with fear

Until God holds us near

We feel weak

Until we hear God speak

We travel far

As God heals every scar

We search high and low

For what will help us grow

Before God sets our path

Without unleashing His wrath

We wonder what we’ll find

But God offers peace of mind

We face our naysayers

While saying our prayers

Cause God set things in stone

He never leaves us alone

We fall then rise again

Knowing with faith we win

We learn to smile

Even laugh a little while

We learn to stand

While holding God’s hand

We embrace an encouraging word

That deserves to be heard

We find our voice

We begin to rejoice

We change our view

When we see what God can do

We look in our hearts

Then see where love starts

We keep going

All while knowing

God has something for us

In Him we trust

We give as good as we get

With very little regret

Cause what we have is real

Something we can’t conceal

We see where to start

We never fall apart

During trials and tribulations
