Faith

Faith

Evidence of things not seen

Knowing what every moment will mean

Embracing every day

Learning to accept God’s way

Getting filled to the core

Before God offers more

Waiting on the plan

God will reveal when He can

Learning to stand

As we hold God’s hand

Knowing what we hold

As our story is told

Getting much stronger

As our days get longer

Prayer setting us free

Then revealing what’s meant to be

Sharing a smile

Laughing a little while

Planting the seeds

That lead to good deeds

Hanging on God’s word

When that’s all we’ve heard

Seeing what we’ve learned

All the stripes we’ve earned

Taking one step at a time

While still in our prime

Building new dreams

That make us burst at the seams

Holding our faith close

Cause faith matters most

Standing on solid ground

Sharing the joy we found

Changing our view

After seeing what God can do

Opening our eyes

To a wonderful surprise

Seeing what we’ll gain

Through heartache and pain

Knowing God will be there

With tender loving care

Knowing we have a name

Letting go of our shame

Feeling God’s affection

Following His direction

Staying on course

With very little remorse

Doing it all again

Knowing we’ll win

Faith

Ways Of Love

We see the ways of love

As we look at heaven above

They fill all our days

In a million different ways

They come in the dreams

That make us burst at the seams

They hold us close

Cause love matters most

God turned us around

Put us on solid ground

We know our name

We move without shame

We find them in the home

Where our souls roam

They offer us peace

Our hearts won’t release

They help us stand

As we hold God’s hand

They make us smile

Make us laugh a little while

And they plant seeds

That lead to good deeds

We see the ways of love

As we look at heaven above

They reveal our purpose

Before it rises to the surface

They teach us how to live

Teach us how to give

Teach us to let go

Of what we used to know

They give us strength

As we talk with God at length

They set God’s path

Without unleashing His wrath

They remove every cloud

Those ways make us proud

They help us look ahead

Without an ounce of dread

They reveal what’s for us

The God we trust

They open our eyes

To a wonderful surprise

And we look at heaven above

Then see the ways of love

The Journey

We look at the road ahead

While faith removes our dread

We wonder what we’ll find

Faith offers us peace of mind

We learn as we go

We share what we know

We feel weak

Until we hear God speak

We hang on God’s word

Cause that’s all we’ve heard

We change our view

After seeing what God can do

We find blessings galore

Before God fills us to the core

We learn lessons

That become heartfelt confessions

We lift one voice

As we begin to rejoice

We find a beautiful place

Filled with mercy and grace

Our purpose becomes clear

So, we move without fear

We know what’s by design

So, everything is fine

We look at the world around us

In God we trust

We take one step at a time

While still in our prime

We see something real

Much too difficult to conceal

A treasure we hold

As our story is told

Life gets better

As we embrace it to the letter

We learn to stand

As we hold God’s hand

Faith lifts us up

It fills every cup

It gives us dreams

That make us burst at the seams

We rest in a home

Where our souls can roam

We keep going

All while knowing

What’s meant for us only

The journey

A Bitter Pill To Swallow

We face every day

As we try to find our way

We wonder what’s in stone

Before we see we’re not alone

We wonder what’s for us

Exactly who we should trust

We look straight ahead

While filled with dread

Before our purpose becomes clear

We hold our faith near

We fall then rise again

Knowing with faith we’ll win

We learn as we go

We share what we know

We finally ignore our naysayers

As we say our prayers

We open our eyes

To a wonderful surprise

We search for a place

To run our race

Before God turns us around

Then puts us on solid ground

We learn our name

We let go of our shame

We learn to smile

Even laugh a little while

We learn to stand

As we hold God’s hand

We stumble here and there

But God offers tender loving care

We count every blessing granted

We water the seeds we planted

We feel weak

Until we hear God speak

We build new dreams

That make us burst at the seams

We find a home

Where our souls can roam

We grapple with doubt

Before God works things out

We finally find a treasure

We cherish beyond measure

Then past another test

Just like all the rest
