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

Sea Of Love

We’re sitting in a sea of love

As we look at heaven above

We hold each other close

Cause our bond matters most

Our hearts run free

Cause our love is meant to be

Our souls have become one

We see what God has done

We cherish our moments of pleasure

Beyond all measure

We know what’s for us

In God we trust

We’ve changed our view

After seeing what God can do

We stand on solid ground

We share the joy we found

We plant the seeds

That lead to good deeds

Our faith fills every day

As God shows us the way

We’re filled to the core

Before God offers us more

And life gets better

As we embrace it to the letter

We’re sitting in a sea of love

Without a doubt

God will work things out

We see our divine purpose

Lying at the surface

People wonder if we’ll last

But we’ve learned from the past

We feel something pure

We feel safe and secure

We can now stand

As we hold God’s hand

We feel God’s power

Hour after hour

We rest in a home

Where our souls can roam

Faith removed every cloud

Every moment makes us proud

And we look at heaven above

While sitting in a sea of love

At Midnight

At midnight

Our prayers go up

God fills our cup

We reflect on a day’s journey

Meant for us only

We count the blessings granted

We water the seeds we’ve planted

We gain a renewed strength

After talking with God at length

Our faith helps us heal

Miracles are hard to conceal

We hold each other close

Cause our bond matters most

We hang on God’s word

Cause that’s all we’ve heard

We rest in a home

Where our souls roam

We remove all doubt

That God will work things out

We learn to stand

As we hold God’s hand

We feel like morning dew

We see what God can do

And we prepare to do it again

Knowing faith will help us win

At midnight

We see what’s in stone

Why God never leaves us alone

We see our divine purpose

Lying at the surface

We find perfect peace

Our hearts won’t release

A conditional love

Comes from heaven above

We learn to smile

Even laugh a little while

We learn new lessons

That become heartfelt confessions

God gives us a name

We let go of our shame

God removes every cloud

The moment makes us proud

And we prepare to do more

As God fills us to the core

At midnight
