#Wanderers – v2

We are wanderers, seekers,
mythical beings roaming, traveling,
journeying on this earth,
souls searching, striving,
rising to the heavenly realm,
unbound by time or space…
 
We are water beings, light creatures,
immortal, spirits alive for eternity,
unbound by mortal flesh,
souls moving in dimensions,
traversing planes of existence,
to places yet unknown…

We must hold onto God’s promise

We must hold onto God’s promise,
We must not fear,
We must believe,
We must be courageous…
 
We must not waver,
We must not hide,
We must be strong,
For today is filled with promise…
 
We must hold onto God’s promise,
We must not fear,
We must stand resolute,
We must be courageous…
 
We must lean into
the challenge, our storms,
in our struggles, in our abundance,
For God is with us on the road…

We are who we have – v2

We are who we have,
We are our own companion,
walking with us in this life,
for there is no other, truly…
 
We are our hope, our light,
our center, our balance,
walking on this earth,
in every step we take…
 
Our own life, authentic,
is our light, our message,
we must stay true to ourselves,
within our own person…

Travelers – v3

We are travelers, wanderers,
mythical beings roaming,
souls searching, seeking,
journeying on the earth,
rising to the heavenly realm,
unbound by time or space…
 
We are water beings, spirit creatures,
alive for eternity, immortal,
unbound by mortal flesh,
spirits moving in dimensions,
traversing planes of existence,
where we do not know…

Rest in the meadows

In lush green pastures,
rest in the meadows,
leading me to still waters,
to rest by their shores…
 
God leads me,
into His protection,
He gives me rest,

This is God’s Battle

This is God’s battle,
He just wants us to be faithful,
To trust in Him,
In God’s infinite strength…
 
We do not need to fear,
For God fights for us,
The battle is not ours,
The battle is God’s…

Forever – v2

We are bound by our clay,
by now, this moment, finite,
if we let it, as if that is what exists,
the present, only, walking,
in this moment in time…
 
But we are travelers, wanderers,
mythical beings roaming,
journeying on this earth,
rising to the heavenly realm,
unbound by time or space…
 
We strive, unshackled,
without limit, forever, eternity,
eternal, immortality, unending,
seeing time and space
without beginning or end…
 
We are water creatures, spirit beings,
We are alive for eternity, immortal,
unbound by mortal flesh, by time,
our spirits moving in dimensions,
where we do not know…

Now – v2

Now, this discrete moment,
as if this alone is what exists,
the present, only,
this one moment in time…
 
Forever, eternity,
immortality, unending,
defining time and space
without beginning or end…
 
Now maybe real,
But the present is illusory,
Limiting our dreams,
The truth of our lives…
 
Forever, eternity,
immortality, unending,
defining time and space
without beginning or end…

Rest in the meadow - v2

Rest in the meadow,
in lush green pastures,
leading me to the waters,
to rest by their shores…
 
God leads me,
into His brightness,
He gives me rest,
within my storms…
