Monday Blues

Got the Monday blues

Need something I can use

It’s time to start over

Without a four-leaf clover

Still learning to stand

As I hold God’s hand

He’ll walk with me

Set my soul free

It’s a new day indeed

Faith will give me what I need

I’m still trying to learn

Looking at the stripes I’ll earn

I’ll embrace the journey

Meant for me only

Only time will tell

What I’ll see well

I’ll follow the light

That shines day and night

It’ll hold me close

Cause I matter most

Got the Monday blues

Need something I can use

God will take me far

He’ll heal every scar

I’ve been given a mission

Along with clear vision

Faith will clear my mind

With the best news I can find

I’ll learn as I go

Share what I know

I’ll feel a touch

That means so much

I’ll move without fear

Cause God Almighty is near

I’ll see what’s in stone

Why God won’t leave me alone

I may see something new

Then change my point of view

It may be something real

What my heart can’t conceal

Then I’ll replace the Monday blues

With what I can use

Broken To Blessed

Been held down

Smile turned upside down

Been shamed

Been defamed

Been scorned

Had my heart torn

Been filled with fear

Not knowing what was near

Been filled with doubt

Wondered how I’d work things out

Been searching for peace

My heart won’t release

Been left alone

Wondering what was in stone

Been searching for a place

To run my race

Been looking for a light

To follow day and night

I was always stressed

I’ve gone from broken to blessed

I’ve longed for love

From heaven above

I’ve gotten lost

Didn’t know at what cost

I’ve faced naysayers

While saying my prayers

I’ve searched for purpose

While looking at the surface

I’ve longed for affection

As well as protection

I’ve wondered if every journey

Was meant for me only

I’ve fallen far

Tried to heal every scar

I’ve tried to lift my voice

Cause I had no choice

I’ve longed for strength

While talking with God at length

I’ve been turned around

While searching for solid ground

I’ve traveled every road

With a heavy load

I was stressed

But I’ve gone from broken to blessed

Seven Days

Seven days of love

From heaven above

Seven days of peace

The heart can’t release

Seven days of prayer

God sitting right there

Seven days to see

What’s meant to be

Seven days with no doubt

God will work things out

Seven days purpose

Rises to the surface

Seven days in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

Seven days to smile

Even laugh a little while

Seven days of blessings

Moments we’re not stressing

Seven days to dream

Strange though it may seem

Seven days to hold

Our story being told

Seven days to heal

We see what’s real

Seven days lift us up

God fills our cup

Seven days fill a chapter

With joy and laughter

Seven days we reach

While hearing God speak

Seven days of God’s power

We feel it hour after hour

Seven days we dance

Whenever we get a chance

Seven days appear

We move without fear

Seven days we stand

While holding God’s hand

Seven days of the light

We follow day and night

Seven days come and go

We share what we know

Seven days we celebrate

We know what makes God great

We see His ways

Seven days

The Prayer

Heavenly Father,

Thank you for the love

That comes from heaven above

The eternal peace

Our hearts won’t release

The guidance you give

Each day we live

For filling every soul

With what makes it whole

For giving us strength

Whenever we talk at length

The blessings you grant

The seeds you plant

Making us see

What’s truly meant to be

For holding us up

Filling our cup

For turning us around

Putting us on solid ground

And for the lessons

That have become confessions

Heavenly Father,

Thank you for the place

Filled with your amazing grace

For seeing us through

All the wonderful things you do

The passion and pride

We simply cannot hide

The encouraging word

We’ve always heard

The treasure we hold

The story we’ve told

For your unconditional affection

Your guidance and direction

How you set things in stone

For never leaving us alone

For every journey

Meant for us only

Helping us sit still

As we accept your will

Your unmistakable voice

As it makes us rejoice

For removing our fear

For always being near

The joy you bring

Thank you, God,

For everything
