Stand Still

You face every day

While trying to find your way

You grapple with doubt

That things will work out

You’ve been shamed

You’ve been defamed

You’ve scorned

Had your heart torn

You’ve gotten lost

Without knowing the cost

You’ve prayed for strength

While talking with God at length

You’ve wondered what’s in stone

Thought you were all alone

You’ve been down

Had your smile turned to a frown

You’ve longed for a home

Where your soul can roam

You’ve longed for an encouraging word

That deserves to be heard

Until you learned to stand still

Trust God

Then offer a wink and nod

You’ve fallen far

While trying to heal every scar

You’ve longed to be free

Wondered what’s meant to be

You’ve wondered when your purpose

Would rise to the surface

You’ve tried to smile

Even laugh a little while

You’ve thought about the past

Wondered if you’d last

You’ve searched for peace

Your heart won’t release

You’ve tried to dream

Strange as it may seem

You’ve searched for a hand to hold

Wondered if your story would be told

You’ve wondered if your journey

Is meant for you only

You’ve wondered what’s for you

As you tried to change your view

Until you learned to stand still

And trust God

With a wink and nod

Wine And Roses

We share our days

In a million ways

As we love

We thank heaven above

We look in each other’s eyes

Only to find a wonderful surprise

God sends a sign

That everything is fine

We fulfill our purpose

As it rises to the surface

God fills us to the core

Before He offers us more

Faith makes us see

We’re truly meant to be

Our hearts beat as one

We see what God has done

We hold each other close

Cause our bond matters most

Every moment is real

Too difficult to conceal

We have a treasure

We cherish beyond measure

All our dreams

Make us burst at the seams

As we do our love dance

We celebrate our romance

Knowing we’ll tell our story

In all God’s glory

We ignore our naysayers

As we say our prayers

Cause God is with us

In Him we trust

We plant seeds

That lead to good deeds

Our love rest in a home

Where our souls can roam

We share a smile

That last a little while

We move without fear

We hold our faith near

One tender kiss

Is hard to resist

One tender touch

Means so much

We look straight ahead

Without an ounce of dread

And we strike a few poses

With wine and roses
