No Regrets

I’ve been through the fire

Right down to the wire

I’ve been scorned

I’ve had my heart torn

I’ve been shamed

And I’ve been defamed

I’ve lost my way

But I prayed every day

I’ve learned to sit still

As I accepted God’s will

That’s as good as it gets

And I have no regrets

I’ve lived in fear

Didn’t know God was near

I’ve fallen and risen again

Before learning to win

I’ve taken time to see

What’s meant to be

I’ve thought I was alone

With nothing to call my own

I’ve learned to let go

Of what I used to know

I’ve finally found peace

I’ll never release

That’s as good as it gets

And I have no regrets

Transform

Repairing a broken heart

Getting a fresh start

Letting go of fear

Seeing God standing near

Walking in the light

That shines day and night

Finding your purpose

Lying at the surface

Facing the naysayers

As you say your prayers

Sharing what you can’t forget

Living without regret

Learning to smile

Talking to God awhile

Embracing a journey

Meant for you only

Finding solid ground

Sharing the joy you found

Finding a place

Filled with guidance and grace

Is the way to transform

Change

Making a change

Isn’t so strange

Facing a new day

Accepting God’s way

Finding the right path

Without suffering God’s wrath

Embracing something new

Changing your point of view

Finding a new love

Just like heaven above

Learning to grow

As you share what you know

Letting go of fear

Seeing God standing near

Finding a place

Filled with guidance and grace

Seeing life set in stone

Realizing you’re not alone

Setting yourself free

Seeing what’s meant to be

Staying strong

Whether you’re right or wrong

Falling and rising again

Learning to win

Seeing what to rearrange

Is how you change

The Word

The word is spoken in love

As sent by heaven above

The word rings true

It’ll do good things for you

The word makes clear

That God is holding you near

The word works a million ways

Leaves you thinking for days

The word travels far

Without leaving a scar

It teaches you to live

It teaches you to give

It fills you to the core

Then offers you more

The word offers a place

Filled with guidance and grace

It’s a shining light

That burns day and night

It’s something real

Too difficult to conceal

It’s the best you’ve heard

The word

Flowers

I took a moment to smell the flowers

I smelled them for hours

I thought of beautiful days

God’s amazing ways

The blessings He granted

The seeds He planted

What fills me to the core

What I love more

Lessons from the past

The moments that last

And times I sat still

As I accepted God’s will

I stopped to smell the flowers

They had a wonderful scent

They reminded me of love

From heaven above

Holding a hand

Right where I stand

Finding solid ground

Sharing the joy I found

Letting go of fear

Seeing God standing near

Lifting my voice

As I rejoice

And spending hours

Smelling the flowers
