In Full Bloom

We get through the day

As we accept God’s way

We take one step at a time

While still in our prime

We see what lies ahead

Cause faith removes our dread

Prayer makes us see

What’s truly meant to be

We learn as we go

We share what we know

New dreams appear

As God removes our fear

We gain a renewed strength

While talking with God at length

We find our voice

Then begin to rejoice

We learn what to ignore

As God fills us to the core

We give as good as we get

With very little regret

A new chapter begins

Cause faith always wins

We sit in our room

As life comes in full bloom

We set out on a journey

Meant for us only

We carry life lessons

That become heartfelt confessions

We learn to stand

As we hold God’s hand

We hold our faith close

Cause faith matters most

God fills every soul

He makes life whole

The moments we share

The dreams we dare

Show God works consistently

And loves faithfully

We learn to smile

We even laugh a little while

And we sit in our room

As life comes in full bloom

Reflections

Thinking of every day

How God made a way

Thinking of something pure

What makes us feel secure

Thinking of the love

That comes from heaven above

Thinking of the place

Filled with mercy and grace

Thinking of the encouraging word

We’ve always heard

Thinking of the journey

Meant for us only

Thinking of what we’ll gain

Through heartache and pain

Thinking of the perfect peace

Our hearts won’t release

Thinking of holding each other close

Cause our bond matters most

Thinking of the dreams

That make us burst at the seams

Thinking of the home

Where our souls roam

Thinking of the victory dance

After our second chance

Thinking of beautiful things

All the joy life brings

Thinking of what’s in stone

Why God never leaves us alone

Thinking of how we stand

As we hold God’s hand

Thinking of the voice

That makes us rejoice

Thinking of what’s real

Much too difficult to conceal

Thinking of our point of view

Things God can do

Thinking of what’s for us

The God we all trust

Thinking of sharing a smile

Laughing a little while

Thinking of the past

How we made every moment last

Thinking of the next chapter

All the things we’re after

Reflections

When I Met You

When I met you

It felt like morning dew

We held hands

Right where love stands

We took our stance

Then did a love dance

We cherished the blessing granted

We watered the seed God planted

We built new dreams

That made us burst at the seams

We felt something real

Too difficult to conceal

The moment was by design

So, everything is fine

Our moment of pleasure

We cherish beyond measure

Faith brought us close

Much closer than most

Love was in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

We felt God’s power

Hour after hour

And a tender touch

Meant so much

When I met you

Our souls ran free

We knew it was meant to be

We moved on solid ground

We shared the joy we found

We said a silent prayer

Thanking God for being there

We shared a kiss

We simply couldn’t resist

Our bodies moved as one

Revealing what God had done

We looked in each other’s eyes

And found a wonderful surprise

Our bond got stronger

As the day got longer

God stayed with us

In Him we trust

We moved our feet

To our own beat

And I saw what God can do

When I met you

From A Frown To A Smile

We deal with our days

In so many ways

Faith carries us through

When we see what God can do

We stumble as we go

But we share what we know

We find a place

To run our race

We gain a renewed strength

As we talk with God at length

Our souls run free

Cause we know it’s meant to be

We hang on God’s word

Cause it’s all we’ve heard

We see our purpose

Rise to the surface

As we remove all doubt

That God will work things out

Faith sets things in stone

It reminds us we’re not alone

We fall and rise again

Prayer shows we’ll win

We look straight ahead

Without an ounce of dread

Cause we see what’s for us

The God we all trust

Our naysayers we ignore

As God fills us to the core

We wait for the plan

God will reveal when He can

We travel far

As God heals every scar

We see what we hold

Knowing our story will be told

We dry our eyes

Then see a wonderful surprise

We build new dreams

That make us burst at the seams

God teaches us to stand

As we hold His hand

And we laugh a while

As our frown turns to a smile
