The Test

We face every day

While accepting God’s way

We embrace every journey

Meant for us only

We learn as we go

We share what we know

We stumble here and there

But God offers tender loving care

We look for peace

Our hearts won’t release

Before God makes clear

There’s nothing to fear

We learn what to ignore

As He fills us to the core

We see what’s in stone

Why God never leaves us alone

We face our naysayers

As we say our prayers

We carry life lessons

That become heartfelt confessions

We hang on God’s word

Cause it’s all we’ve heard

We take one step at a time

While still in our prime

We keep working with our hands

Right where love stands

Others count us out

But God leaves no doubt

That we’ll see our purpose

Rise to the surface

We find a place

To run our race

God gives us strength

As we talk with Him at length

We learn our name

We let go of our shame

We change our view

When we see what God can do

We feel His power

Hour after hour

We keep going

While knowing

We’ll get to rest

When we pass the test

Here With You

When I’m here with you

Every moment is brand new

You hold me close

Cause our love matters most

As you fill my days

With your loving ways

You fill my soul

You make me whole

You turn me around

Put me on solid ground

You help me stand

As I hold your hand

You’re a blessing to me

I know we’re meant to be

You share every journey

Meant for me only

You offer moments of pleasure

Beyond all measure

You teach me to live

How to give

How to love

Just like heaven above

When I’m here with you

I can make it through

You give me strength

Whenever we talk at length

You make me smile

Even laugh a little while

You offer me a home

Where my soul can roam

You become a light

That shines day and night

You lift me up

You fill my cup

You offer something real

Too difficult to conceal

You open my eyes

To a wonderful surprise

You make me see what’s in stone

Why you never leave me alone

You remove my fear

You dry every tear

You put a move on my heart

Show me where to start

When I’m here with you
