Ties That Bind

We look at the ties the bind

They offer peace of mind

They show a love

Sent by heaven above

They show the peace

That will never decrease

They show the journey

God chose for us only

They show the way

We live every day

They show the power

We feel hour after hour

They show the treasure we hold

And the story to be told

The ties that bind

Are very real

Too difficult to conceal

They keep us close

Cause love matters most

They fill the heart

With where to start

They offer a guide

And a pride we cannot hide

They contain the dreams

That make us burst at the seams

They remove our fear

They show God is near

They show God’s will

And why we stood still

They show the purpose

Lying at the surface

They show every step we take

The memories we’ll make

What’s in the soul

What makes life whole

And our peace of mind

Because of the ties that bind

Out Of The Dark

From out of the dark we emerge

On nothing but a prayer

Knowing God is there

We run our race

At our own pace

We can clearly see

It was meant to be

We carry the thing

That makes the heart sing

We share life lessons

That have become confessions

We saw what we’d gain

Despite the heartache and pain

And we remain strong

Whether we’re right or wrong

From out of the dark we come

God filled us to the core

Then offered us more

We cherish every day

In a very special way

We learned to sit still

As we accept God’s will

We remember who we are

As we reach for a star

We’ve let go of regret

We give as good as we get

We embrace the purpose

We saw lying at the surface

We wear a smile

That will last quite a while

We got a chance

To do a victory dance

We no longer doubt

Cause God worked things out

We have a gift

That gives us a lift

We take the time

To remember our prime

And we look ahead

Without an ounce of dread

As we come out of the dark

Reasons

There are reasons

For all seasons

Starting a chapter

Filled with joy and laughter

Seeing a new day

Filled with God’s way

Knowing what’s at the core

Of God offering you more

Finding your purpose

Lying at the surface

Learning to love

Like heaven above

Learning to live

Learning to give

Learning lessons

That lead to confessions

Getting to see

What’s truly meant to be

There are reasons

For the seasons

Acknowledging God

With a wink and nod

Following His light

Both day and night

Finding a treasure

Beyond all measure

Letting go

Of what you used to know

Looking into your heart

From the very start

Running your race

At your own pace

Gaining some strength

By talking with God at length

Embracing your dreams

Until you burst at the seams

Finding your voice

Learning to rejoice

Seeing what you’ll gain

Through heartache and pain

Getting to thrive

Learning to survive

During all reasons

Are the reasons

Getting To Happy

Rising every day

Accepting God’s way

Never needing to pretend

Praising God until the end

Touching a hand

Right where you stand

God filling your soul

Life making you whole

Sending someone some love

Like heaven above

Letting go of fear

Knowing God is near

Letting go of regret

Giving as good as you get

Learning to rejoice

When you hear God’s voice

Taking one step at a time

Remembering your prime

Embracing what’s true

God carrying you through

Finding a place

Filled with mercy and grace

Learning to share

Tender loving care

Seeing what’s real

Revealing what you can’t conceal

Cherishing what you hold

Your story being told

Ignoring your naysayers

As you say your prayers

Seeing the steps you take

Seeing the memories you make

Standing on principles

Seeing God’s miracles

Embracing a journey

Meant for you only

Simply being kind

Finding peace of mind

Being filled to the core

God offering you more

Faith keeping you strong

Whether you’re right or wrong

Living the best life

Letting go of strife

Is definitely the key

To getting to happy
