On A Mission

We face every day

While accepting God’s way

We embrace what lies ahead

Without an ounce of dread

We see the plan

God will reveal when He can

We get much stronger

As our days get longer

We see our purpose

Lying at the surface

We see what’s in stone

Why God never leaves us alone

We embrace the journey

Meant for us only

We see what’s for us

And the God we trust

We stumble here and there

But God is always there

We learn what to ignore

As God fills us to the core

We become one

When we see what needs to be done

We got turned around

But God put us on solid ground

We hold the moment dear

Cause God removed our fear

We stay on track

As God gives us what we lack

We open our eyes

See a wonderful surprise

The moment is real

Too difficult to conceal

We run our race

In a safe place

We plant seeds

That lead to good deeds

We keep going

All while knowing

God gives us strength

When we talk with Him at length

Our work continues

We receive good news

We maintain our vision

Cause we’re on a mission

These Eyes

These eyes

See your soul

What makes life whole

These eyes

See your love

Coming from heaven above

These eyes

See your face

And a place filled with mercy and grace

These eyes

See the blessings granted

All the seeds we’ve planted

These eyes

Look straight ahead

Without an ounce of dread

These eyes

See that we’re one

Things God has done

These eyes

See our solid ground

All the joy we found

These eyes

See the encouraging word

We’ve always heard

These eyes

See the home

Where our souls roam

These eyes

See God’s affection

As well as protection

These eyes

See what we’ve learned

All the stripes we’ve earned

These eyes

See the journey

Meant for us only

These eyes

See faith is the key

To what’s meant to be

These eyes

See what we hold

Why it’s worth more than gold

These eyes

See the plan

God will reveal when He can

These eyes

See what’s in stone

Why God won’t leave us alone

These eyes

See the way

We live every day

These eyes

See our purpose

As it rises to the surface

These eyes

Healing

We face a new day

As God shows us the way

We pray for strength

As we talk with Him at length

We look straight ahead

Without an ounce of dread

Learning what to ignore

As God fills us to the core

We grapple with doubt

Before God works things out

We carry life lessons

That become heartfelt confessions

We build dreams

That make us burst at the seams

We cherish the peace

Our hearts won’t release

We learn to stand

As we hold God’s hand

We change our view

When we see what God can do

We give as good as we get

With very little regret

God fills every soul

With what makes it whole

We open our eyes

To a wonderful surprise

We learn to smile

Even laugh a little while

We take one step at a time

While still in our prime

We learn our name

As we let go of our shame

We learn how to live

How to give

And how to love

Just like heaven above

We embrace what’s for us

We see the God we trust

We pass every test

Just like all the rest

We find something pure

What makes us feel secure

Without reeling

We start healing

Sometimes

Sometimes we cry

Then wonder why

Sometimes we feel weak

Until we hear God speak

Sometimes we learn

Then see the stripes we’ll earn

Sometimes we feel the love

Coming from heaven above

Sometimes we fall and rise again

Then faith helps us win

Sometimes we find a home

Where our souls can roam

Sometimes we hold each other close

Cause bonding matters most

Sometimes we learn to stand

As we hold God’s hand

Sometimes we learn what to ignore

As God fills us to the core

Sometimes we learn to smile

Even laugh a little while

Sometimes we look ahead

Without an ounce of dread

Sometimes we rejoice

When we hear God’s voice

Sometimes we do a victory dance

When we get a chance

Sometimes we change our view

After we see what God can do

Sometimes we hear the word

That deserves to be heard

Sometimes we embrace the journey

Meant for us only

Sometimes we make clear

What we hold dear

Sometimes our souls run free

Then we see what’s meant to be

Sometimes we remove all doubt

That God will work things out

Sometimes we see what’s by design

Why everything is fine

Sometimes we embrace a new day

As we accept God’s way

Sometimes
