Perfect Peace

We’ve faced every day

While accepting God’s way

Some have doubted us

But in God we trust

Some thought we wouldn’t last

But we’ve learned from the past

We’ve fallen and risen again

Cause faith helped us win

We’ve been down

Had our smiles turned into a frown

We’ve been scorned

Had our hearts torn

Yet we’ve stayed on the move

Knowing we had nothing to prove

We’ve searched high and low

For what we know

We’ve gotten turned around

Until we found solid ground

We’ve embraced every journey

Meant for us only

We’ve doubted our purpose

Until it rose to the surface

But we stayed on course

Without an ounce of remorse

Cause we’re in perfect peace

We’ve wondered what’s by design

If everything would be fine

Until God planted the seed

To a blessing indeed

We’ve longed for a word

We’ve never heard

Until God’s voice

Made us rejoice

We’ve couldn’t stand

Until God took our hand

We’ve learned to smile

Even laugh a while

We’ve gotten lost

Didn’t know the cost

Until God gave us direction

With plenty of affection

We’ve traveled far

While healing every scar

God knows us

In Him we trust

We’ve stayed on course

Without an ounce of remorse

Cause we’re in perfect peace

Father Figure

A father figure raised me

Showed what’s meant to be

His lessons filled every day

In a very special way

He held my hand

Taught me how to stand

He showed me the love

Coming from heaven above

He taught me to pray

Accept God’s way

He said faith would fill my soul

Make life whole

He said life is real

Too difficult to conceal

He talked about what’s in stone

Why God won’t leave me alone

He talked about purpose

How it rises to the surface

What God can do

How it feels like morning dew

And how I’d grow

By sharing what I know

I had a father figure

Brave and strong

He taught me right and wrong

He gave me direction

And plenty of affection

He made clear

What I should hold dear

He said I’d go far

While reaching for a star

He talked about God’s word

One I’ve always heard

The beautiful place

Filled with mercy and grace

He said count my blessings

Without a lot of stressing

He said faith would turn me around

Put me on solid ground

He showed what’s by design

Why everything is fine

He was my father figure

Visions

Looking high and low

At what we all know

Traveling far and wide

Seeing things we can’t hide

Staying in prayer

Knowing God is there

Looking at lessons learned

And all the stripes we’ve earned

Embracing God’s power

Hour after hour

Looking at the purpose

Rising to the surface

Moving straight ahead

Without an ounce of dread

Feeling God’s affection

Having His protection

Reflecting on the dreams

That make us burst at the seams

Hanging on God’s word

Cause it’s all we’ve heard

Seeing where we stand

As we hold God’s hand

Making wise decisions

When we see visions

Looking at our hearts

Where love always starts

Staying on track

As God offers what we lack

Love keeps us close

Cause love matters most

What we see is real

Too difficult to conceal

We let God lead the way

Every single day

His word encourages us

In Him we trust

Faith removes all doubt

That God will work things out

Our journey makes us see

What’s truly meant to be

The moment fills every soul

Makes life whole

We stand on solid ground

As we share the joy we found

Faith keeps us strong

Whether we’re right or wrong

We make wise decisions

When we see visions
