Shadows Of Love

We see the shadows of love

Just like heaven above

They guide us along the way

They fill every day

They are the plan

God reveals when He can

They hold us tight

Morning, noon and night

They take us far

As we reach for a star

They make us see

What’s truly meant to be

They secure our bond

Both here and beyond

And they fill us with pride

We simply cannot hide

We see the shadows of love

Nothing could be better

We embrace life to the letter

They take us to a place

Filled with mercy and grace

They offer something warm and pure

They make us feel secure

They give us time

To remember our prime

They are the prayer

That says God is there

They fill the soul

They make life whole

They hold the hand

Right where we stand

They are the dreams

That make us burst at the seams

They are a treasure to behold

A story untold

And as we look at heaven above

We see the shadows of love

Lingering Melody

I hear the lingering melody

The sound follows me constantly

It makes me think of great days

Some very passionate ways

The moments we shared

The dreams we dared

When we held each other close

Like love mattered most

The God we trust

What He offered us

The ordained journey

Meant for us only

And the pride

We simply cannot hide

I hear the lingering melody

It sounds good to me

It makes me think of love

Sent by heaven above

What our hearts felt

What made me melt

What gave us strength

Times we talked at length

How we found a place

Filled with mercy and grace

How we let go of fear

What we hold dear

The blessings granted

The seeds we’ve planted

Things we both treasure

Beyond all measure

The tender touch

That means so much

Our solid ground

The joy we found

What makes us great

The memories we create

What we’ve learned

The stripes we’ve earned

The guidance God gave

What we both crave

Is meant to be

As I listen to the lingering melody

Footprints

I see footprints everywhere

Letting me know God is there

They lead me to a place

Filled with mercy and grace

They show me what’s real

What I shouldn’t conceal

They show me the love

That comes from heaven above

They show me the journey

Meant for me only

The show me the power

I feel hour after hour

They show me the way

To live every day

And they show me a pride

I simply cannot hide

I see footprints everywhere

They look very pure

They make me feel secure

They make me smile

The smile last a while

They take me far

Without leaving a scar

They fill my heart

Right from the start

They show me how to care

They show me how to share

They show small things

And the joy life brings

They show me where to go

And ways I can grow

They show the plan

God reveals when He can

I see footprints

To Be Free

To be free

Is something meant to be

To be free

Is to rest in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

To be free

Is to find love

Sent by heaven above

To be free

Is to hold a hand

Right where you stand

To be free

Is to walk with God

Offering a wink and nod

To be free

Is to let go

Of things you used to know

To be free

Is to learn to live

And learn to give

To be free

Is to embrace a journey

Meant for you only

To be free

Is to stand on solid ground

As you share the joy you found

To be free

Is to know every step you take

Is a memory you’ll make

To be free

Is to fall and rise again

Knowing faith will help you win

To be free

Is to share a moment at a time

While still in your prime

To be free

Is simply being kind

Finding peace of mind

To be free

Is to be proud

Say it out loud

To be free

Be Still

You may feel alone

Like nothing’s set in stone

You may look for a path

Without suffering God’s wrath

You may look for peace of mind

Wondering what you’ll find

You may be full of fear

Not knowing who’s near

You may lose touch

With what matters so much

You may lose your way

As you pray every day

And you may forget

To give as good as you get

But there is a savior close by

No need to ask why

Just be still

You may face naysayers

As you say your prayers

You may forget

To let go of regret

You may stumble here and there

As you seek tender loving care

You may forget that a blessing

Will keep you from stressing

You may get weak

Before you hear God speak

You may wonder about time

And how to remember your prime

You may wonder about the journey

Meant for you only

By there’s a savior near by

No need to ask why

Just be still

Everything

You fill my days

In so many ways

You are the light

I follow day and night

You put a move on my heart

From the very start

I can’t hide

What I feel inside

The bond we share

Tells me you care

You make me smile

The smile last a while

You are a blessing indeed

You help me succeed

You make my heart sing

You are my everything

You fill my soul

You make me whole

You take me to a place

Filled with mercy and grace

You hold my hand

Right where I stand

It’s plain to see

We’re meant to be

Every moment is real

Too difficult to conceal

You are the love

Sent from heaven above

You set things in stone

You never leave me alone

You keep me close

To what I love most

You fill me with pride

I cannot hide

You remove my fear

Whenever you’re near

You are the gift

That gives me a lift

You are a sight to behold

You’re a story untold

You give as good as you get

That’s nothing to regret

You make my heart sing

You are my everything
