Where Gratitude Lies

Where gratitude lies

There is foundation in abundance

God fills us to the core

Then offers us more

With each passing day

We accept God’s way

We count every blessing

Without a lot of stressing

Our souls rest in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

We learn to stand

As we hold God’s hand

We see what’s in stone

Why God never leaves us alone

We learn as we go

We share what we know

We remove all doubt

That God will work things out

We ignore our naysayers

As we say our prayers

Our daily journey

Is meant for us only

And we celebrate life and love

Cause they come from heaven above

Where gratitude lies

Our eyes can see

What’s truly meant to be

We find our purpose

Lying at the surface

We look straight ahead

Without an ounce of dread

We get stronger

As our days get longer

We build new dreams

That make us burst at the seams

We hang on God’s word

Cause that’s all we’ve heard

We learn our name

We let go of the shame

We feel God’s power

Hour after hour

We learn to smile

Even laugh a little while

And we see what God can do

How we made it through

Where gratitude lies

The Journey

Seeing another day

How God made a way

Seeing what’s true

How we made it through

Seeing new dreams

That make us burst at the seams

Seeing our purpose

Rise to the surface

All the blessings granted

All the seeds we’ve planted

Seeing solid ground

Sharing the joy we found

Learning as we go

Sharing what we know

Seeing the home

Where our souls roam

Removing our fear

When we see God standing near

Staying on our path

Without unleashing God’s wrath

Lifting one voice

As we begin to rejoice

Feeling God’s affection

As well as protection

Spreading the love

That comes from heaven above

Learning to smile

Even laugh a little while

Hanging on God’s word

Cause it’s all we’ve heard

Seeing what’s ahead

While letting go of dread

Getting much stronger

As our days get longer

Realizing an answered prayer

Shows God is there

Seeing what’ s by design

Knowing everything is fine

Holding our faith close

Cause faith matters most

Seeing what’s for us only

The journey

Sitting In Silence

Sitting in silence

Reflecting on the day

How God made a way

The journey meant for me

Things that are meant to be

All the strength I’ll gain

Through heartache and pain

The glorious victory dance

After my second chance

All the blessings granted

All the seeds I’ve planted

What I learned to ignore

As God filled me to the core

All the love

Coming from heaven above

The hand I hold

The story I’ve told

What God set in stone

Why He never leaves me alone

How God turned me around

Put me on solid ground

And how I learned to smile

Even laugh a little while

Sitting in silence

Thinking of what makes life better

How I embrace it to the letter

All the dreams

That make me burst at the seams

Every moment of pleasure

Beyond all measure

What touches my heart

How I always start

The encouraging word

I’ve always heard

How God removed every cloud

Moments that make me proud

The beautiful home

Where my soul can roam

How I reach my peak

Whenever I hear God speak

The beautiful place

Filled with mercy and grace

What fills my soul

And what makes me whole

While I’m sitting in silence
