Through The Years

Through the years

We’ve shared many days

In so many ways

We’ve gone through the fire

To obtain what we desire

We saw what was in stone

God never left us alone

Some thought we wouldn’t last

But we learned from the past

We’ve held each other close

Cause love matters most

We’ve reached a space

Filled with God’s grace

The moments we’ve shared

The dreams we’ve dared

Are so surreal

Things we can’t conceal

We’ve found solid ground

We share the joy we found

Nothing means more

We’re filled to the core

We’ve shared a smile

Even laughed a while

We’re glad to be together

Through the years

We remembered what we’ve been through

What we used to do

Until God set us free

We knew we were meant to be

We grappled with doubt

Until God worked things out

We found a home

Where our souls can roam

We looked at heaven above

And saw nothing but love

We ignored our naysayers

As we said our prayers

We found our purpose

Lying at the surface

We hung on the word

We’ve always heard

God removed every cloud

The moment made us proud

We learned our name

We feel no shame

We’re glad to be together

Through the years

Tomorrow

Tomorrow

Will be better than today

We’ll accept God’s way

We’ll see what’s true

Then see what God can do

We’ll learn lessons

That will become confessions

We’ll hold each other close

Cause bonding matters most

We’ll learn to stand

As we hold God’s hand

Life will get better

As we embrace it to the letter

We’ll rest in a place

Filled with God’s grace

We’ll finally see

What’s truly meant to be

God will remove all doubt

That things will work out

We’ll follow the light

That shines day and night

And we’ll feel the love

Coming from heaven above

Tomorrow

We’ll hear a voice

That will make us rejoice

We’ll see what’s in stone

Why we’re never left alone

We’ll feel God’s power

Hour after hour

We’ll see what’s for us

In God we’ll trust

God will fill every soul

He’ll make life whole

We’ll have direction

As well as protection

We’ll ignore naysayers

As we say our prayers

We’ll hang on God’s word

Cause it’s all we’ve heard

We’ll rest on solid ground

Share the joy we found

We’ll give as good as we get

With very little regret

The world will know our name

We’ll let go of the shame

And we’ll let go of sorrow

Tomorrow

Rebirth

Another day another chapter

One filled with joy and laughter

Another lesson learned

Another stripe earned

Another ordained journey

Meant for us only

Another doubt removed

God given purpose proved

Renewed strength gained

Despite heartache and pain

Feeling God’s affection

Having His protection

Seeing what’s in stone

Realizing we’re not alone

Finally letting go

Of what we used to know

Resting in a place

Filled with God’s grace

Following His word

Cause it’s all we’ve heard

Changing our view

When we see what God can do

Hearing our story

For all God’s glory

Learning to stand

As we hold God’s hand

Our hearts running free

Knowing what’s meant to be

Finding a home

Where our souls can roam

Knowing it’s by design

And everything is fine

Learning to smile

Even laugh a little while

God removing every cloud

The moment making us proud

Finding solid ground

Sharing the joy we found

Seeing every step we take

Is a memory we’ll make

Learning what to ignore

As God fills us to the core

Finding something pure

Feeling safe and secure

Looking straight ahead

Without an ounce of dread

As we keep going

All while knowing

God is with us

In Him we trust
