The Work

Facing every day

Knowing God will make a way

Slowly but surely becoming one

As we see what God has done

Taking one step at a time

While still in our prime

Seeing what we’ve been called to do

Realizing God will carry us through

Finding amazing grace

Where we’ll run our race

Seeing what’s designed for us

And the God we trust

Hanging on His word

Cause it’s all we’ve heard

Finding purpose in the journey

Meant for us only

Ignoring our naysayers

As we say our prayers

Getting much stronger

As our days get longer

Landing on solid ground

Sharing the joy we found

Working with our hands

Right where love stands

Refusing to pretend

Moving until the end

Learning our name

Letting go of our shame

Feeling nothing but affection

Having God’s protection

Seeing what’s by design

Knowing everything is fine

Faith filling every soul

Prayer making life whole

Planting the seeds

That lead to good deeds

Learning to smile

Even laugh a little while

Finding a moment of pleasure

Beyond all measure

Seeing the home

Where our souls roam

Viewing what’s real

Too difficult to conceal

Staying wide awake

Seeing the steps we’ll take

Then do the work

Close To You

I dream of you every day

I wouldn’t have it any other way

You put a move on my heart

From the very start

You fill my dreams

Strange as it seems

Thoughts of you make me smile

Even laugh a little while

You fill me to the core

Make me beg for more

God planted the seed

To a blessing indeed

You set every moment in stone

Remind me I’m not alone

You are the light

I follow day and night

You take me to a place

Filled with mercy and grace

I long to share my journey

Cause it’s meant for us only

As I call your name

I feel no shame

You’re sweeter than morning dew

I long to be close to you

I long to strengthen our bond

From here and beyond

I long to feel your kiss

One hard to resist

I long to feel your touch

Cause it means so much

I feel your power

Hour after hour

This moment of pleasure

I cherish beyond measure

There’s no doubt

Things will work out

I’ve learned to let go

Of what I used to know

This moment fills my soul

Makes me whole

You’re sweeter than morning dew

I long to be close to you

The Prayer

Heavenly Father,

Thank you for the love

That comes from heaven above

Your guidance and direction

As well as your affection

You are the light

We follow day and night

You set things in stone

You remind us we’re not alone

You lift us up

You feel our cup

You offer something pure

You make us feel secure

We see what you can do

Cause you carry us through

You fill our days

In so many ways

Your encouraging word

Is all we’ve heard

We carry what you’ve taught us

In you we trust

You’ve given us more

Than we could ask for

We love you

Heavenly Father

Guiding Light

We follow our guiding light

Both day and night

The light is the path

We never suffer God’s wrath

We can see the journey ahead

We move without dread

We get stronger

As the trip gets longer

We remove all doubt

That God will work things out

The light shows faith is the key

To what’s meant to be

The light is the home

Where our souls can roam

We have guidance and affection

As well as protection

The light is the prayer

That shows God is there

We have a place

To run our race

And the light teaches lessons

That become heartfelt confessions

We follow our guiding light

Both day and night

The light reveals the word

We’ve always heard

It shows what’s in stone

Why God never leaves us alone

The light follows us wherever we go

Shows ways we can grow

We see the seeds

That lead to good deeds

The light teaches us stand

As we hold God’s hand

We’ve removed our fear

As we hold each other near

The light is the love

That comes from heaven above

We reach our peak

Whenever we hear God speak

We keep going

All while knowing

We have a guiding light

That we follow day and night
