Close your eyes, clear your mind,
Lean into your faith,
Listen for, that gentle breeze,
You only have to wait.

Try to lose, all those thoughts,
That drag you down with fear,
Look towards, the skies above,
And let your mind be clear.

Take a breath, slow and deep,
Feel your chest expand,
Know that you can never fall,
Lean into His hand.

Find a way, to have some hope,
Even when it rains,
Know the Sun’s, behind those clouds,
And it will surely shine again.

Set aside, the desire to blame,
Accept things as they are,
Have the faith, in God’s own plan,
And you’ll journey very far.

For in the times, we reach inside,
There’s something we will find,
From the Hand that made us, who we are,
That mark… of the Divine.

So rest, my friend, and dream at night,
And find that blissful peace,
And all your hopes for brighter days,
Will be within your reach.

For the faith we need in the times we struggle…

Grab your shoes, take a step,
Come along with me,
Leave behind, your worries dear,
It’s time to now be free.

Look outside, and see the stars,
Feel the nighttime air,
Forget about what worries you,
And set down that despair.

Take a breath, and feel your heart,
Beating in your chest,
Run into the nighttime’s arms,
This isn’t time to rest.

Move amidst the gentle fields,
Waving in the breeze,
Feel that wind, brush past your face,
And let your spirit ease.

Find a spot to rest your head,
And see the universe expand,
And feel the joy and peace there is,
The perfection, in holding hands.

And hear the call, the nighttime makes,
When people aren’t around,
The peace within your very soul,
That’s there, to just be found.

And maybe just, that little time,
You spent in nighttime skies,
Will clear away, the clouds you see,
And open up your eyes.

For all we are, is simple beings,
Set here upon the ground,
And all heavens, look down on us,
With all the things around.

And if we could just, feel that warmth,
And take it deep within,
We’d start to leave our fears behind,
And joy would then begin…

For the perfection in silence… and being one with the universe.

Ask me, what can move the world,
My answer is simply Love.
There is no greater power, you see,
Not here, or from Above.

It rests within our beating heart,
This power we have inside,
And when we know, we’ve found “the one”,
It’s nothing we can hide.

And everything we ever want,
Can suddenly be achieved,
It only takes, a little faith,
And the desire, to just believe.

Cause who we are, is more than flesh,
We’re spirit and also soul,
And once we find, our counterpart,
Our hearts will then feel whole.

For when two people, choose to love,
There’s nothing they can’t do,
And every turn, their path may take,
…Is a journey, they’ll see through.

And that is such a powerful bond,
That nothing could simply sever,
And the joy it can create, for them,
Will last them then… forever.

For what it is to feel you’re where you belong in the universe.

Find some hope, down deep within,
Feel that sense of Grace,
Lift your heart up to the sky,
Put a smile upon your face.

Know the truth that’s always there,
The Hand that guides our way,
And even when we cannot see,
It never goes away.

For in our heart, rests the Divine,
A piece of God within our soul,
That fills us when we’re empty,
And heals and makes us whole.

And even when, we trip and fall,
And question if He’s there,
That grace will lift us up again,
Because He’ll always care.

So when you close your eyes at night,
And dream about tomorrow,
Know you’ll never be alone,
And don’t get lost in sorrow.

For all the hopes we have inside,
Can be within our grasp,
If we have the faith, to say that prayer,
And trust in God… to ask.

So go, my friend, and smile for me,
And cherish that new day…
And know you’ll always be so blessed,
By the strength you have today.

For the power within each of us, that comes from Above.
