The Ladder

Careful steps up the ladder we take

Wonderful memories we’ll make

The ladder is the way

We live every day

It’s the way to dreams

That make us burst at the seams

It keeps us strong

Whether we’re right or wrong

It’s a prayer

That shows God is there

And it leads to a place

Filled with grace

The ladder is real

It knows what to reveal

It teaches us to be still

As we accept God’s will

It takes us through the fire

As we obtain what we desire

It helps us grow

As we share what we know

It will take us far

As we reach for a star

it leads to a blessing

Without a lot of stressing

And only faith will matter

When we climb the ladder

The Way

The way to live every day

Is by keeping sin at bay

Stay close to God

With a wink and a nod

Learn to see

What’s truly meant to be

Follow the light

That shines day and night

Share the love

Sent by heaven above

And ignore naysayers

As you say your prayers

The way to purpose

Is lying at the surface

It’s the perfect plan

God reveals when He can

It’s healing for the soul

It makes life whole

It’s the blessing

You count without stressing

It’s the touch

That means so much

It’s the soft voice

That makes you rejoice

And it’s what you say

While learning the way

Solid Ground

We’ve been through the fire

Down to the wire

We’ve been shamed

We’ve been defamed

We’ve gotten lost

Without knowing how much it cost

Through heartache and pain

We didn’t know what we’d gain

We were full of fear

Didn’t know God was near

But faith turned things around

And we’re on solid ground

We’ve gotten ill

As time stood still

We’ve fallen to our knees

Didn’t know who to please

For all we went through

We didn’t know what to do

Each and every day

We learned to pray

A divine voice

Taught us to rejoice

Life is better

We cherish it to the letter

Cause faith turned things around

And we’re on solid ground

Visions

Day after day

I search for a way

To share what I’ve seen

If you know what I mean

I say a prayer

Knowing God is there

Before continuing a journey

Meant for me only

The path is clear

So I have no fear

It doesn’t seem strange

Nothing will change

I make no split decisions

Cause I’m focused on my visions

I share a love so true

God shows me what to do

I gain strength

By talking with God at length

It’s the root of my power

I feel it hour after hour

I take God’s hand

Right where I stand

Cause I know

That’s how I’ll grow

I make no split decisions

Cause I’m focused on my visions

At Last

At last, we’re free

We’re who we’re meant to be

God paved the way

To a brighter day

Our pain is gone

We’ve finally moved on

We found something rare

We handle it with care

Everything’s set in stone

We’re never left alone

And we stand on principles

As we collect small miracles

At last, we’re free

It’s a beautiful thing to see

We’ve traveled far

We’ve finally reached a star

We smell the roses

We strike a few poses

We’re in a place

Filled with God’s grace

We now wear a smile

That will last awhile

Our God given purpose

Has risen to the surface

God is one of a kind

We’ve found peace of mind

We’ve learned from the past

And we’re free at last
