Praise

Heavenly Father,

Thank you for the days

All your loving ways

The daily journey

Meant for the heart only

All the dreams

That make us burst at the seams

The strength we gain

Through heartache and pain

The beautiful place

Filled with mercy and grace

The ordained purpose

That lies at the surface

Our solid ground

All the joy we found

The divine plan

You’ll reveal when you can

The encouraging word

That deserves to be heard

The hand we hold

The story being told

The one voice

We lift when we rejoice

For lifting us up

Filling every cup

Revealing what’s in stone

While never leaving us alone

Thank you for the smile

We can wear for a while

Filling every soul

Making life while

Giving us a home

Where we can freely roam

Helping us stand

Whenever we hold your hand

The life lessons

That have become confessions

Making us see

What’s meant to be

And all the miracles you perform

As we break every norm

Reflections

I think of all my days

God’s loving ways

My incredible past

Moments I made last

What holds me close

Like I matter most

Things I know are real

Too difficult to conceal

The silent prayer

That proves God is there

What turned me around

Put me on solid ground

The moment purpose appeared

When God removed what I feared

How I learned to stand

As God held my hand

Every time I opened my eyes

To a wonderful surprise

The moment I found something pure

When I felt safe and secure

And learned to love

Just like heaven above

I look back at the journey

Meant for me only

The moment God filled my soul

Made my life whole

I think of the word

That deserves to be heard

I see every beautiful place

Filled with mercy and grace

I remember how I made it through

All the things God can do

All the dreams

That made me burst at the seams

I think of what’s in stone

Why God never leaves me alone

How life gets better

When I embrace it to the letter

How I get stronger

As my days get longer

The moment I lifted my voice

Then began to rejoice

Reflections

In Truth

We face every day

As we accept God’s way

Our daily journey is real

Too difficult to conceal

Faith keeps us strong

Whether we’re right or wrong

Our silent prayer

Shows God is there

We rest in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

We hold hands

Right where love stands

God stays with us

In Him we trust

We have a home

Where our souls can roam

We look straight ahead

Without an ounce of dread

Knowing God has a plan

He’ll reveal when He can

We see beautiful things

Feel the joy life brings

We have perfect peace

Our hearts can’t release

We give as good as we get

With very little regret

Our hearts beat as one

We see what love has done

We have something pure

We feel safe and secure

We see the steps we take

All the memories we’ll make

We share a smile

We laugh a little while

We have God’s affection

As well as protection

We reach our peak

Whenever we hear God speak

God turned us around

Put us on solid ground

Nothing could be better

We embrace life to the letter

God reveals what’s in stone

He never leaves us alone

And we hold our faith close

Cause faith matters most
