Broken Wings

You’ve faced every day

While trying to find your way

You’ve gotten lost

Not knowing the cost

You’ve been shamed

You’ve been defamed

You’ve wondered who you are

While trying to heal every scar

You’ve thought you were alone

When facing every steppingstone

You’ve grappled with fear

Not knowing who was near

You’ve longed for a home

Where your soul can roam

You’ve searched for a place

Filled with mercy and grace

You’ve tried to stand

While reaching for a hand

You’ve turned yourself around

While searching for solid ground

You’ve longed for affection

As well as protection

Then came beautiful things

As God healed your broken wings

You’ve longed for a word

That deserves to be heard

You’ve searched for peace

Your heart can’t release

You’ve looked ahead

While filled with dread

You’ve felt a lot of pain

Along with stress and strain

You’ve tried to smile

Even laugh a little while

You’ve faced several storms

Tried to break a lot of norms

You’ve wondered what’s real

Too difficult to conceal

You’ve wondered what’s by design

If everything will be fine

You’ve longed to fill your soul

With what will make you whole

You’ve longed for a journey

Meant for you only

Then came beautiful things

As God healed your broken wings

Broken To Blessed

We’ve faced every day

While trying to find a way

We’ve been shamed

Been defamed

Been scorned

Had our hearts torn

We’ve gotten lost

Not knowing at what cost

We’ve longed for a word

We’ve never heard

We’ve searched for a place

Filled with mercy and grace

We’ve traveled far

While healing every scar

We’ve grappled with doubt

That things will work out

We’ve longed for a home

Where our souls can roam

We’ve been turned around

While searching for solid ground

Then God appeared

Removed what we feared

And took us from broken to blessed

We’ve prayed for strength

While talking at length

We’ve tried to change our view

Wondered how we’d make it through

We’ve looked ahead

While filled with dread

We’ve longed for something pure

To fill safe and secure

We’ve wondered what we’ll gain

Through heartache and pain

We’ve longed for affection

As well as protection

We’ve searched for something real

Too difficult to conceal

We’ve longed for peace of mind

Which is hard to find

We’ve tried to stand

While wanting to hold a hand

We’ve wondered how to live

How to give

And how to love

Just like heaven above

Until God appeared

Removed what we feared

And took us from broken to blessed

A Thousand Words

Words of true love

Coming from heaven above

Words of perfect peace

The heart won’t release

Words that heal the soul

Make each of us whole

Words of a different kind

That offer peace of mind

Words that offer strength

Whenever we talk at length

Words heard in prayer

That show God is there

Words that build and uplift

Words that are a gift

Words that make us see

What’s truly meant to be

Words in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

Words that come from God

As we offer a wink and nod

Words that make us smile

Even laugh a little while

Words left in stone

Reminding us we’re not alone

Words that help us stand

As we hold God’s hand

Words that ring true

When we see what God can do

Words that remove fear

When we see God standing near

Words that encourage and guide

Fill us with pride

Words that teach lessons

That turn into confessions

Words that show what we’ll gain

Through heartache and pain

Words that reveal who we are

As we reach for a star

Words that fill every day

In a very special way

Something that need to be heard

Words
