Open Up Life

There's good in being
Apart of this place

Can come in each day
Receiving His grace

Rest assurance He cares
For He is the way

Call upon His name
Any time of day

Just being alive
Don't be dismay

For God is good
He sees our heart

Open up life
That's where to start

Rest For This Day

Need not to rush

Feeling at rest
While on this stay

Peace brings quiet

Knowing What's Good

How does it feel

For a reason

Knowing what's good
In that season

Yes, Feelings Come And Go

When not feeling so good
Fatigue can slow us down

Can't do some things as fast
Seems weird to get around

But still we move along
Know what we have to do

What's needed in life's path
We keep on to get through

No matter how we're feeling
We can live to feel

Yes, feelings come and go
But we choose our own will

Recording History

Seeing the connections
Reading some old letters

Back up with what was heard
Making notes for the better

Search of history
Lines up with what's been found

Keeping the records straight

Didn't match up with facts
Throws some things off more

Recording history
In letters to explore

We wonder about those days

Things happen so suddenly
That crosses our path in ways

Where we can't think correctly
Some things come out of no where

Need to get back in focus

Seem to knock us off our feet

Surprises will come our way

How things came to be

There is hope. Hope for the future that is set before us. It may be hard to see good come out of bad situation. But keep the faith in Jesus.
