Old Folks Say

I hear old folks say

They accept God’s way

They feel nothing but love

As they look at heaven above

They know their purpose is clear

So they move without fear

They relish perfect peace

Their hearts won’t release

They stand on solid ground

They share the joy they found

They see what’s in stone

God never leaves them alone

They feel His power

Hour after hour

They rest in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

They do a victory dance

To celebrate their second chance

God fills their core

Before He offers them more

They enjoy moments of pleasure

Beyond all measure

They have something pure

They feel safe and secure

I hear old folks say

They live by a word

That deserves to be heard

They feel brand new

Cause they know what God can do

An answered prayer

Shows God is there

They build as they go

They share what they know

They fall then rise again

Knowing with faith they’ll win

They continue to dream

Strange as it may seem

They look in their hearts

Then see where love starts

They continue to stand

As they hold God’s hand

They fill every chapter

With joy and laughter

They find a surprise

Every time they open their eyes

God will never pretend

Cause His love will never end

Side By Side

We stand side by side

Our hearts filled with pride

We form a bond

From here and beyond

As we hold each other close

We see what matters most

We feel nothing but love

As we look at heaven above

We cherish the blessing granted

We water the seeds we planted

We enjoy a moment of pleasure

Beyond all measure

We do a love dance

To celebrate our romance

Love fills our core

Before God offers us more

We stand on solid ground

We share the joy we found

We stay in prayer

Almighty God is always there

What we have is real

Something we can’t conceal

What we have is pure

Faith makes us feel secure

We stand side by side

Our pride we can’t hide

We bond in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

Our love continues to grow

More than anyone would know

We build our dreams

Until we burst at the seams

We stand on a word

That deserves to be heard

We reach our peak

Whenever we hear God speak

We receive a new name

As God removes our shame

We open our eyes

To a wonderful surprise

We feel God’s power

Hour after hour

We see what’s for us

The God we both trust

We start over again

Knowing with faith we’ll win
