Private Thoughts

Thinking of sunny days

God’s loving ways

What makes us smile

Even laugh a little while

The journey we traveled

Why our souls never unraveled

The moments we share

The dreams we dare

How we changed our view

After seeing what God can do

The divine purpose

We saw lying at the surface

The tender kiss

We just couldn’t resist

The tender touch

That means so much

All the blessings granted

All the seeds we’ve planted

The encouraging word

That deserves to be heard

What feels pure

What makes us feel secure

The perfect peace

Our hearts won’t release

Thinking of unconditional love

That comes from heaven above

How we hold our faith close

Cause faith matters most

The way God turned us around

Put us on solid ground

What we usually ignore

As God fills us to the core

The beautiful place

Filled with mercy and grace

What God made clear

Why we move without fear

All the steps we’ll take

All the memories we’ll make

What makes us smile

Even laugh a little while

Our brand new name

When God removed our shame

The beautiful home

Where our souls can roam

The strength we gain

Through heartache and pain

How we reach our peak

Whenever we hear God speak

Private thoughts

One Love

One love can fill a day

One love can see God’s way

One love can be real

One love is hard to conceal

One love can signal a dance

To celebrate a romance

One love can fulfill the purpose

We see lying at the surface

One love can build dreams

Until we burst at the seams

One love can turn us around

Put us on solid ground

One love can make us see

What’s truly meant to be

One love can plant seeds

That lead to good deeds

One love can see what’s in stone

Assure us we’re not alone

One love can offer peace

Our hearts won’t release

One love can build a home

Where our souls can roam

One love can help us rise

Then see a wonderful surprise

One love can deliver a word

That needs to be heard

One love can lift us up

Fill our cup

One love is a treasure

To be cherished beyond measure

One love can rest in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

One love can make us smile

Even laugh a little while

One love can help us stand

As we take God’s hand

One love can carry us through

Show what God can do

One love

Footprints

Footprints appear in the sand

They appear all over the land

They show the journey

Meant for us only

They reveal the purpose

Lying at the surface

They give us strength

As we talk at length

They fill every soul

They make life whole

They build dreams

That make us burst at the seams

They rest in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

They travel far

While healing every scar

They reveal what’s in stone

Why God never leaves us alone

They rest in a home

Where our souls can roam

They are the blessings granted

All the seeds we’ve planted

And they help us smile

Even laugh a little while

Footprints appear among us

In God we trust

They show what we’ll gain

Through heartache and pain

They fill us to the core

Before God offers us more

They plant seeds

That lead to good deeds

They change our view

After showing what God can do

They offer moments of pleasure

Beyond all measure

They help us see

What’s meant to be

They help us stand

As we hold God’s hand

They reveal who we are

As we reach for a star

They keep us going

All while knowing

We move without fear

Cause God almighty is near

Men Say

I hear men say

They cherish their days

All of God’s loving ways

Moments with family and friends

They know love never ends

That their life lessons

Are now heartfelt confessions

That their souls are free

They know what’s meant to be

That they get much stronger

As their days get longer

That they know God is there

With tender loving care

They know what to ignore

As God fills them to the core

They hang on God’s word

Cause that’s all they’ve heard

That they relish the peace

Their hearts won’t release

Faith turned them around

Put them on solid ground

They build dreams

Until they burst at the seams

And they have a treasure

They cherish beyond measure

I hear men say

They hold their faith close

Cause faith matters most

They fall and rise again

But faith helps them win

They have something pure

They feel safe and secure

They pass every test

Just like all the rest

They look straight ahead

Without an ounce of dread

Knowing God set their path

Without unleashing His wrath

They’ve let go

Of things they used to know

They remember who they are

As they reach for a star

And they rest in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

I hear men say
