Seven Days

It’s been seven days of love

Sent from heaven above

Seven days of peace

I know I’ll never release

Seven days of purpose

Rising to the surface

Seven days of a light

I follow day and night

Seven days of the voice

That makes me rejoice

Seven days of a plan

God reveals when He can

Seven days of what’s true

And how God brought me through

Seven days of healing

That I won’t be concealing

Seven days my heart

Gave me a start

Seven days I’m sure

Seven days I feel safe and secure

Seven days of laughter

Seven days of a new chapter

Seven days I’m not alone

Seven days things are set in stone

Seven days filled with affection

And plenty of protection

Seven days without fear

Knowing God is always near

Seven days I’m filled to the core

Then offered much more

Seven days of power

I feel hour after hour

Seven days of solid ground

And the joy I found

Seven days of blessings

Without a lot of stressing

Seven days of a touch

That means so much

We accept God’s ways

All seven days

Hand In Hand

We share every day

In a very special way

God provides for us

In Him we trust

We move without fear

Cause our faith is near

We share a love

Sent by heaven above

We hold each other close

Cause our bond matters most

We’ve planted the seed

To a blessing indeed

God shares the journey

Meant for us only

As we stand

And walk hand in hand

We listen to the voice

That makes us rejoice

We learn as we go

We share what we know

We share a peace

We’ll never release

We ignore our naysayers

As we say our prayers

We can clearly see

What’s meant to be

We’ve traveled far

To reach our star

Our love is true

Faith brought us through

We’ve stood on our own

Look at how we’ve grown

We’re filled with a pride

We simply cannot hide

We’ve taken the time

To remember our prime

We’ve given as good as we get

With very little regret

We’re in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

And we know where we stand

As we walk hand in hand

Last Night

Last night we prayed

Our very souls were saved

We started anew

We changed our point of view

We gained strength

As we talked with God at length

We saw our purpose

Rise to the surface

We felt the love

That comes from heaven above

We embraced the journey

Meant for us only

We learned from the past

While making every moment last

And we held each other close

Cause our bond matters most

Last night

We followed the light

That shines day and night

It provided a blessing

Without a lot of stressing

God made clear

What He holds dear

He offered us affection

Along with plenty of protection

We learned to sit still

As we accept His will

We found something to hold

Our story will be told

Our faith became real

Too difficult to conceal

We began to see

What’s truly meant to be

We learned to let go

Of things we used to know

We found a place

Filled with mercy and grace

We struck a few poses

While smelling several roses

And we took in a beautiful sight

Last night

Smelling Roses

I’m smelling roses

While striking a few poses

They represent each day

How I made a way

Where I’m supposed to be

The dreams that motivate me

They fill my soul

They make me whole

They’re part of a journey

Meant for me only

They’re sent by God

I offer Him a wink and nod

And they help me stand

As I hold God’s hand

I’m smelling roses

The scent I can’t ignore

They fill me to the core

They give me a pride

I simply cannot hide

They fill me with the purpose

That lies at the surface

They keep me strong

Whether I’m right or wrong

They make me see

What’s truly meant to be

I can see what I’ll gain

Through heartache and pain

They put me in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

They offer a word

That’s the best I’ve heard

Their scent takes me far

Without leaving a scar

The roses represent love

Sent from heaven above

They offer something pure

They make me feel secure

They set things in stone

They prove I’m not alone

So I’ll strike a few poses

While I’m smelling the roses

Still Here

We reflect on each day

As we accept God’s way

We stumble here and there

But we still stay in prayer

We get filled to the core

As life offers us more

Some didn’t think we’d last

But we learned from the past

Our journey is real

Too hard to conceal

We can clearly see

It was meant to be

We’ve planted seeds

That lead to good deeds

Every step we take

Is a memory we’ll make

God made His will clear

And we’re still here

We’ve gotten lost a time or two

We didn’t know what to do

But we finally learned

Our stripes we earned

Our life lessons

Are now heartfelt confessions

We share them all

God answers every call

Cause we’re truly blessed

Instead of stressed

We see our own hearts

Where love starts

The thought fills us with a pride

We simply cannot hide

Things are set in stone

We’re never left alone

We’ve learned to smile

Even laugh a little while

We remember who we are

As we reach for a star

We’ve found a place

Filled with mercy and grace

God made His will clear

And we’re still here
