Love That Lasts

I won't be tied to a run down life
I'm listening up when my gut speaks out
I let the fear and the pain pass by
I don't have time to keep going back

I see bigger, better brighter days ahead
I am stronger, wiser different from my past
I am living, learning, looking for the good
I will be in love to find a love that lasts

Let's keep it real, times are tough I know
When we can laugh state of mind is home
If you get stuck pick it up and go
Dig in and do what you can do now

I see bigger, better brighter days ahead
I am stronger, wiser different from my past
I am living, learning, looking for the good
I will be in love to find a love that lasts

Loving life
Feeling free
Just as happy with me
As I'll ever be with someone else...
Who sees bigger, better brighter days ahead
Who is stronger, wiser different from the past
Who is living, learning, looking for the good
Who will be in love to be my love that lasts?
I will be in love to love the one that lasts

Miraculous

"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle." - Albert Einstein

Where is this road leading?
What do you have for me?
Find myself on my knees asking why?
So many variables
Juggling too many balls
Will this work for the good? Seek and find...

Everyday miracles
Nothing is impossible
When I watch one door close
I believe there's something more
Miraculous
Miraculous

Lead me into your will
I'll follow and be still
Even as storms will come I see your hand
Calming the raging sea
Arms open beckoning
Walk on the water with me, you can stand...

Everyday miracles
Nothing is impossible
When I watch one door close
I believe there's something more
Miraculous
Miraculous

Look for the rainbows in the rain
Come expecting healing through pain
Being rich has nothing to do with money
I can say that I have seen...

Everyday miracles
Nothing is impossible
When I watch one door close
I believe there's something more
Miraculous
Miraculous

Let God blow your mind
Seek and you will find...
Miraculous
Miraculous

Bigger

"God's gifts and his call are irrevocable" Romans 11:29
We are all...
Just a little bitty piece of the bigger picture
Colorful indeed, welcome jagged edges
Forming like a mural or a stained glass window
Every little thing
is a part of something BIGGER
Icy rain tapping on my ceiling
Cannot sleep there's a call I'm hearing
What? Who me? Oh you must be joking
I am nothing and this is bad timing
Why would you use the weakness link?
Single mother with two kids to raise
Do my part is all you ask of me
So...How, why, and what exactly?
Just a little bitty piece of the bigger picture
Colorful indeed, welcome jagged edges
Forming like a mural or a stained glass window
Every little thing
is a part of something BIGGER
So OK...Have you seen me lately?
Out of shape and I cringe while aging
I was running at that pretty twenty
Dad was dying felt like you just left me
You say you were there waiting
Through the storm and through the rain
Faith grew strong while I was learning
Perseverance while becoming
Just a little bitty piece of the bigger picture
Colorful indeed, welcome jagged edges
Forming like a mural or a stained glass window
Every little thing
is a part of something BIGGER
Get this is bigger than me!
The other day my daddy came to me
In a dream and said baby just sing!
There's an audience you cannot see and God loves to hear you sing
All you need to be is...
Just a little bitty piece
of the bigger picture
Colorful indeed
welcome jagged edges
Forming like a mural or a
stained glass window
Every little thing
is a part of something BIGGER
God is so much bigger than me
You are bigger!
So much bigger than you think
God is bigger, so much bigger through every little thing...
Giving just a little bitty piece
