One step
Then another
Along a path
I did not design
~♦~
My plans
And my control
Are illusions
There are no
Absolute solutions
~♦~
Each day will pass
And each
Will be a miracle
As I survive
~♦~
Buffeted
Beaten
Bruised
and Broken
~♦~
But stronger I arise
Every broken piece
Mended
To make me whole
~♦~
Walking in peace
And in love
Giving of all
That I can
~♦~
A perfect hope
In an imperfect world
A light
Amidst the great darkness
There is so much hate and judgement in this world.
We need to come against it. We need to reflect God’s heart to those around us.
We need to be love.
This is a time
When we want to be
Together
But we need to stay
Apart
♦~♦
Know that it is
Love
That separates us
In this time
♦~♦
Speak into each other’s
Lives
Even though
Physical distance
Isolates us
♦~♦
We will pray
And praise our God
Together
In the Spirit
As we wait in expectation
Of a better and brighter
Tomorrow
A smile
A kind word
Bright lights
In this world
Speak
Speak out
Step
Step out
In love
Playing with love
Is like playing with fire
♦~♦
We can feel warm and cozy
But the consequences can be quite dire
♦~♦
Anyone who says that love is a game
Is certainly a dangerous liar
♦~♦
Love is deep
And has roots like thorny briers
♦~♦
It can be very beautiful and grand
Or as dark and confused as a mire
♦~♦
We have the love of God, our Heavenly Father,
And no love is higher
♦~♦
His love is captivating
Like the music of a lyre
♦~♦
We must guard the love in our hearts
And not lightly grant it to the first buyer
♦~♦
But we can deeply love our Lord
And let our love reach heavenward like a spire
