Silent Night

On a silent night

We follow our guiding light

Prayers are uttered from afar

As we heal every scar

We prepare for another day

Then learn to accept God’s way

We look straight ahead

Without an ounce of dread

Knowing God set our path

Without unleashing His wrath

We look at heaven above

And see nothing but love

We hold hands

Right where love stands

We prepare for another mission

With crystal clear vision

We see what’s by design

So, everything is fine

We count the blessings granted

We water the seeds we planted

We rest in the home

Where our souls roam

And faith makes us see

What’s truly meant to be

On a silent night

We follow our guiding light

The moment gives us peace

Our hearts won’t release

We gain a renewed strength

As we talk with God at length

We learn what to ignore

As God fills us to the core

We do a victory dance

Whenever we get a chance

We stay on solid ground

We share the joy we found

We give as good as we get

With very little regret

God fills every soul

He makes everyone whole

We keep going

All while knowing

Another journey is for us

In God we trust

And we follow our guiding light

Both day and night

The Stranger

The stranger went on a journey

Meant for Him only

He looked all around

Marveled at what he found

He thanked God for the day

The blessing came His way

He built new dreams

That made him burst at the seams

He got much stronger

As his days got longer

God revealed his purpose

Before it rose to the surface

The stranger felt the love

That comes from heaven above

He felt perfect peace

His heart will never release

He found a home

Where his soul could roam

God helped him stand

As he took God’s hand

He was set free

He knew it was meant to be

And the stranger felt God’s power

Hour after hour

The stranger opened his eyes

To a wonderful surprise

He planted seeds

That led to good deeds

His life lessons

Became heartfelt confessions

He saw what was real

Almost impossible to conceal

He hung on God’s word

Cause that’s all He heard

Life got better

Cause the stranger embraced it to the letter

He saw what was in stone

He knew he wasn’t alone

God granted blessings galore

Before filling the stranger to the core

The stranger cherished each one

He knew what God had done

And the stranger continued the journey

Meant for him only

Thankful

God fills all my days

With His loving ways

He turned me around

Put me on solid ground

He set me free

Now I know what’s meant to be

He gives me moments of pleasure

Beyond all measure

He grants me blessings galore

Before offering me more

He reveals what’s in stone

He never leaves me alone

He gave me a home

Where my soul can roam

He gives me strength

Whenever we talk at length

His encouraging word

Is all I’ve ever heard

He helps me look ahead

Without an ounce of dread

Cause He has a plan

He’ll reveal when He can

He healed my soul

He makes me whole

He lifts me up

He fills my cup

He makes me smile

Even laugh a little while

God teaches me how to live

He teaches me how to give

He teaches me how to love

Just like heaven above

I’ve changed my view

After seeing what He can do

I can take a stand

As I hold His hand

I can learn as I go

I share what I know

I stay on the move

Cause I have nothing to prove

God is the guiding light

I follow day and night

Every day is pure

I feel safe and secure

I’m thankful
