Mountains

We face every day

While trying to find our way

We stumble here and there

But God offers tender loving care

We travel far

As we heal every scar

We gain a renewed strength

After talking with God at length

We learn valuable lessons

That become heartfelt confessions

We search for purpose

Until it rises to the surface

We face our naysayers

As we say our prayers

We learn to smile

Then laugh a little while

We stay on course

With very little remorse

Cause God has a plan

He’ll reveal when He can

We change our view

When we see what He can do

We give as good as we get

With very little regret

We find a place

Filled with mercy and grace

We grapple with fear

Until we see God standing near

God offers us peace

Our hearts won’t release

We do a victory dance

Whenever we get a chance

We look straight ahead

Hearts filled with dread

Until God sets our path

Without unleashing His wrath

We open our hearts

Then see where love starts

We continue the journey

Meant for us only

We see what we’ll gain

Through heartache and pain

We arrive at our destination

Praise God without hesitation

After climbing mountains

Ode To Love

It’s a feeling we can’t ignore

One that fills us to the core

It fills all our days

In a million ways

It sets things in stone

It never leaves us alone

It’s a blessing from God

We offer a wink and nod

It touches the soul

It makes life whole

It travels far

Without leaving a scar

It is the divine purpose

We see lying at the surface

It removes our fear

When we see God standing near

It fills every place

With mercy and grace

It helps us stand

As we hold God’s hand

It gives us strength

When we talk at length

It gives us moments of pleasure

Beyond all measure

It offers us an encouraging word

That deserves to be heard

It accompanies every journey

Meant for us only

It offers us a home

Where our souls can roam

It shows us how to live

It shows us how to give

It plants the seeds

That lead to good deeds

It is the guiding light

That shines day and night

It builds dreams

That make us burst at the seams

It keeps us going

All while knowing

God is with us

In Him we trust

We begin again

With faith we’ll win

Solid Ground

We face every day

While trying to find our way

We wonder what we’ll find

Before God offers peace of mind

We face our naysayers

As we say our prayers

Our purpose is made clear

So, we move without fear

We stumble here and there

But God offers tender loving care

Our life lessons

Become heartfelt confessions

We search for purpose

Then it rises to the surface

We look straight ahead

While filled with dread

Until God sets our path

Without unleashing His wrath

We grapple with doubt

Before God works things out

We find a place

Filled with mercy and grace

We look at heaven above

And see nothing but love

God turned us around

Then put us on solid ground

We hold our faith close

Cause faith matters most

We’re put to the test

Just like all the rest

We feel weak

Until we hear God speak

We see what’s by design

So, everything is fine

We have God’s affection

As well as protection

We plant seeds

That lead to good deeds

We travel far

While healing every scar

We hold hands

Right where love stands

Life gets better

As we embrace it to the letter

We continue our mission

With crystal clear vision

God turned us around

Then put us on solid ground

The Essence Of You

You fill all my days

In a million different ways

I hold you close

Cause you matter most

You fill me to the core

Leave me begging for more

You’re part of the dreams

That make me burst at the seams

You give me moments of pleasure

Beyond all measure

You’ve given me a home

Where my soul can roam

You offer something pure

You make me feel secure

You’ve turned me around

Put me on solid ground

You make me smile

Even laugh a little while

You are the journey

Meant for me only

As I open my eyes

You offer a wonderful surprise

You set things in stone

You never leave me alone

I can make it through

With the essence of you

You help me grow

By sharing what you know

God planted the seed

To a blessing indeed

Your love takes me far

Without leaving a scar

You make me see

What’s truly meant to be

You are the voice

That makes me rejoice

The thought makes me proud

Makes me sing out loud

You help me stand

With one touch of your hand

I have nothing to fear

Whenever you’re near

You fill every place

With mercy and grace

I can make it through

With the essence of you
