New Day

A new day has arrived

Time to see how we’ve thrived

Count all the blessings granted

All the seeds we’ve planted

Let’s look at our solid ground

Share the joy we’ve found

Let’s remember who we are

As we reach for a star

Let’s learn to let go

Of what we used to know

Let’s focus on divine purpose

As it rises to the surface

Let’s embrace the new journey

Cause it’s meant for us only

Let’s lift one voice

As we begin to rejoice

Let’s be grateful for the grace

That guides us from place to place

The encouraging word

We’ve always heard

Let’s focus on the renewed strength

Gained when we talk at length

Let’s remove all doubt

That God will work things out

Let’s learn to smile

Even laugh a little while

Let’s learn our name

Let go of our shame

Let’s cherish the peace

Our hearts won’t release

Let’s remember faith is the key

To what’s meant to be

Let’s hold hands

Right where love stands

Let’s look at what’s by design

Cause everything is fine

Let’s ignore our naysayers

As we say our prayers

Cause in every way

Today is a new day

Perfect Peace

You face every day

As you accept God’s way

You think you’re alone

With nothing to call your own

You struggle with doubt

Wonder if things will work out

You search for a place

To run your race

You long for something to hold

Wonder if your story will be told

You grapple with fear

Not realizing who’s standing near

You wonder what’s for you

How you’ll make it through

You look straight ahead

While struggling with dread

You travel far

While healing every scar

You fall and rise again

You wonder if you’ll win

You wonder what you’ll gain

Through heartache and pain

Before the pain begins to cease

God gives you perfect peace

You stumble here and there

Looking for someone to care

You try to turn around

As you search for solid ground

You learn to let go

Of things you used to know

You look for something pure

Cause you feel insecure

You try to stand

As you crawl across the land

You long for affection

As well as protection

You try to smile

Even laugh a little while

As you continue the journey

Meant for you only

Then the pain begins to cease

And God gives you perfect peace

Joy And Laughter

Every chapter

Is filled with joy and laughter

We see the journey

Meant for us only

Every blessing granted

All the seeds planted

Every brand new day

How God made a way

What soothes the soul

How faith makes life whole

The moments we share

The dreams we dare

We feel the love

Coming from heaven above

We feel a perfect peace

Our hearts won’t release

We hear an encouraging word

One that deserves to be heard

We see our divine purpose

Rising to the surface

And the beautiful place

Filled with mercy and grace

Every chapter

Is filled with joy and laughter

We see what’s in stone

Why God won’t leave us alone

We’ve learned to smile

Even laugh a little while

We get stronger

As our days get longer

We lift one voice

As we begin to rejoice

We see what’s real

What our hearts can’t conceal

We’ve learned to stand

As we hold God’s hand

We’ve changed our view

Cause we see what God can do

We ignore our naysayers

As we say our prayers

We have a treasure

We cherish beyond measure

Our hearts run free

We know what’s meant to be

So, every chapter

Is filled with joy and laughter
