The Dream

The dream fills every day

It’s part of God’s way

It fills the soul

It makes life whole

It is the purpose

We see lying at the surface

It keeps you awake

It arrives for your sake

It comes from God

Give Him a wink and nod

It is the journey

Meant for you only

It is a blessing indeed

It’s how you succeed

And it provides direction

Along with God’s affection

The dream is real

Too difficult to conceal

It’s the thing you see

It’s something meant to be

It travels far

As you reach for a star

It carries you through

No matter what you do

It will turn you around

Put you on solid ground

It keeps you strong

Whether you’re right or wrong

It is the place

Filled with mercy and grace

It is the passage of time

It’s remembering your prime

The dream is something to hold

It’s a story to be told

It is a guide

Something you can’t hide

Strange as it may seem

There’s a thing called the dream

One Lonely Night

One lonely night

I saw a guiding light

The light held me close

Like I mattered most

It showed the day

How God paved the way

The journey ahead

Moments I don’t dread

How I could gain strength

By talking with God at length

The naysayers I can ignore

What will fill me to the core

How to find a place

Filled with mercy and grace

The purpose I can fulfill

How to accept God’s will

One lonely night

I followed a guiding light

It set me free

It showed what’s meant to be

It taught me lessons

That are now confessions

It showed what I’ll gain

Through heartache and pain

It took me far

As I reached for a star

It made me smile

The smile lasted awhile

It showed a new chapter

Filled with joy and laughter

It granted blessings for sure

It made me feel secure

It showed me who to please

As I fell to my knees

It led me down the right road

God carried the heavy load

It revealed something real

Something too difficult to conceal

And I saw God in plain sight

One lonely night

These Hands

These hands feel your heart

They’ll never tear it apart

They feel the love

That comes from heaven above

They can touch your soul

They feel what makes life whole

They feel a place

Filled with mercy and grace

They feel the journey

Meant for two only

They build every day

They fold when I pray

They can hold you close

Like you matter most

And plant seeds

That lead to good deeds

These hands feel a treasure

Beyond all measure

They can paint a smile

That will last awhile

They can catch you when you fall

They’ll be there when you call

They can go far

When reaching for a star

They can heal

They know what to reveal

They are strong

Be they right or wrong

They show what’s true

They can change a point of view

They can turn you around

Put you on solid ground

Restore what was old

Give you something to hold

Provide some direction

As well as protection

And do a victory dance

When they get a chance

They know where God stands

These hands

The Gift

The gift fills every day

It’s sitting down to pray

It’s the true love

That comes from heaven above

It’s the special place

Filled with mercy and grace

It’s a special moment with God

Giving Him a wink and nod

It’s a warm smile

That last quite awhile

It’s holding someone close

Cause they matter most

It’s starting a new chapter

Filled with joy and laughter

And learning to let go

Of what you used to know

The gift is something rare

It says God is always there

It sets things in stone

It never leaves you alone

It has a power

You feel hour after hour

It is the purpose

You see lying at the surface

It fills the soul

With what makes life whole

It’s the God given journey

Meant for you only

It’s the lessons learned

The stripes earned

It’s the removal of fear

What you hold dear

It’s learning from the past

Making every moment last

It’s hearing a word

That’s the best you’ve heard

It’s life getting better

Cause you embrace it to the letter

It’s something that gives you a lift

It’s called the gift
