Start every day with a grateful heart.

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 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

God has His hands on you.

God has a calling on your life. It’s up to you to answer the call.

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

When love comes calling

The heart gets a lift

The soul receives a gift

The mind arrives at peace

The heart won’t release

Every day gets better

When embraced to the letter

The journey is made for two

We see what God can do

We arrive at a place

Filled with mercy and grace

We turn ourselves around

We settle on solid ground

We learn to smile

Even laugh a little while

We reach our peak

Whenever we hear God speak

We hold each other close

Cause our bond matters most

And we give as good as we get

With very little regret

When love comes calling

We feel a touch

That means so much

We’re filled to the core

Before God offers us more

We lift one voice

As we begin to rejoice

We let go of fear

Cause we know God is near

We embrace special things

We see the joy life brings

We see the blessings granted

We water the seeds we’ve planted

We cherish our bond

From here and beyond

We feel God’s affection

We have His protection

We know what we have is real

Too difficult to conceal

And there’s no stalling

When love comes calling

Keep the faith.

God will take care of you.

With an open heart

We see where to start

Every brand new day

Brings a blessing our way

We embrace what’s in stone

Why God never leaves us alone

We cherish every kiss

Too tender to resist

We begin to move

With nothing to prove

We share a smile

Even laugh a little while

We count every blessing

Without a lot of stressing

We stand on principles

As God performs miracles

We learn as we go

We share what we know

And we share the dreams

That make us burst at the seams

With an open heart

We open our eyes

To a wonderful surprise

We get through every storm

We defy every norm

We pass every test

Just like all the rest

We find a place

To run our race

We listen to a word

That’s the best we’ve heard

We see what’s real

Too difficult to conceal

We learn to stand

As we hold God’s hand

We remove all doubt

That God will work things out

We see what God can do

How we made it through

And we see where to start

With an open heart
