Hands To Heaven

We raise our hands to heaven

In a silent prayer

Thanking God for being there

We reflect on the journey

Meant for us only

We thank God for offering strength

Whenever we talk at length

Our faith takes us far

Without leaving a scar

God offers us affection

As well as protection

Right or wrong

We know where we belong

We’ve passed every test

Just like all the rest

We’ve found a place

Filled with mercy and grace

We’ve learned to smile

Even laugh a little while

We raise our hands to heaven

Cause our faith means everything

We see what it can bring

God lifts us up

Then fills our cup

He shows us something pure

He makes us feel secure

Our faith is a treasure

Beyond all measure

One thing is clear

Faith removed our fear

We can stand

While holding God’s hand

God answers our call

Whenever we fall

We see our purpose

Rising to the surface

Life gets better

As we embrace it to the letter

We lift one voice

As we begin to rejoice

Every moment means more

And fills us to the core

As we raise our hands to heaven

The Little Things

The little things

Show what life brings

Awaking every day

Then accepting God’s way

Sharing the love

That comes from heaven above

Holding hands

Right where faith stands

Sharing our dreams

Until we burst at the seams

Our bond getting stronger

As our days get longer

Hearing an encouraging word

That’s the best we’ve heard

Seeing what’s meant for us

Knowing in God we trust

And sharing life lessons

That are now confessions

The little things

Mean so much more

Cause they fill us to the core

Finding a place

Filled with mercy and grace

Knowing what we can take

With every step we make

Seeing our purpose

Rise to the surface

Turning ourselves around

Then settling on solid ground

Cherishing the blessings granted

Watering the seeds we’ve planted

Sharing what we’ve learned

Seeing the stripes we’ve earned

Seeing what’s in stone

Realizing we’re not alone

Giving as good as we get

With very little regret

Feeling God’s affection

Having His protection

Learning as we go

Sharing all the things we know

Knowing what we have is rare

Showing how much we care

And appreciating the joy life brings

Through the little things

Happiness

Happiness is cherishing every day

Accepting God’s way

Counting every blessing granted

Watering the seeds we’ve planted

Revealing lessons learned

Seeing the stripes we’ve earned

Putting things on the table

Knowing God is able

Letting go of fear

Cause we know God is near

Feeling God’s affection

Having His protection

Lifting one voice

As we begin to rejoice

Resting on solid ground

Sharing the joy we found

Wearing a smile

Even laughing a little while

Happiness is standing tall

Knowing God will answer our call

Hearing a word

That’s the best we’ve heard

Taking the time

To remember our prime

Looking ahead

Without an ounce of dread

Knowing what’s for us

Cause in God we trust

Seeing what’s in stone

Realizing we’re not alone

Cherishing every moment for sure

Feeling safe and secure

Equals happiness

When We Look Ahead

When we look ahead

Faith removes our dread

We embrace the plan

God will reveal when He can

We cherish every day

We accept God’s way

We count the blessings granted

We water the seeds we’ve planted

We do a victory dance

Whenever we get a chance

We relish peace of mind

Which is hard to find

We let go of fear

As we hold each other near

We learn from the past

We make every moment last

And life gets better

When we embrace it to the letter

When we look ahead

Without an ounce of dread

We relish the place

Filled with mercy and grace

We see what’s in stone

We know we’re not alone

We get stronger

As our days get longer

We know what’s real

We know what we can’t conceal

We get what we crave

We feel the love God gave

We turn ourselves around

We land on solid ground

We stand on principles

As God performs small miracles

We simply keep going

All while knowing

There’s no need for dread

When we look ahead

Nick Of Time

We ponder which way to go

Cause that’s all we know

We reflect day and night

On what may seem right

We grapple with fear

Not knowing who’s always near

We wonder if we’ll last

As we deal with our past

We long for strength

While talking with God at length

We try to maintain our poise

Despite all the noise

We try to turn around

While searching for solid ground

We long for a place

Filled with mercy and grace

We long to see

What’s meant to be

Before we reach our prime

And God arrives in the nick of time

We long for a hand to hold

As our story is told

We long for affection

As well as protection

We long to live better

Embrace life to the letter

We continue to travel

While trying not to unravel

We wonder what we can take

With every step we make

We try to stand

While trying to take a hand

We wonder what’s in stone

We wonder if we’re alone

We search our hearts

Where everything starts

We long for something pure

To feel safe and secure

Before we reach our prime

And God arrives in the nick of time
