From lyrics to "Courage to Begin" by Roger Tomhave, Tom Kimmel, & Kim-Char Meredith
From trial-and-error to error-and-trial, you've gotta do it with style.
You know you're going somewhere; … it might take a while.
It is not an easy path, and it leaves a trailing mess —
So many twists and turns up the mountain of success.
When asked if my good fortune takes a special discipline, I say, "Yes it does. It takes the courage to begin."
Oh, the courage to begin is the courage not to stop.
You got to keep on moving from the bottom to the top.
Fail early, fail often, and when you feel like giving in,
Remember how you started and the way you start again is the courage to begin.
…Every time I start, it might fall apart.
Still, I'm on my way.
Oh, it might seem the farthest run.
But, … the first step is the hardest one.

Inspired by lyrics to "I'll Meet You where You Are" by Melinda Wood Allen & David Roth:
When days are not okay, we won't pretend.
If it's not okay, it's not the end.
We have come all this way together and we'll keep growing together.
If God had hands, there'd only be one on your shoulder.
If God could speak, the words would bless everything you do.
Whatever has happened has come to pass. We'll meet together in a higher place.

Inspired by lyrics to "Now I'm Free" by Faith Rivera":
One small step I take today. One small thing to start a change.
I'm just one but when it's begun, there's no stopping me now.
Once I opened my heart, now there's room left for me.
I can love so much deeper, 'cause there's love for me.
And my life, it is richer than I've ever seen. Now I'm free.
One big world I find today. One big leap I get to take.
I'm the one who's walked, now I'll run! There's no stopping me now.
I'm the one who's walked. Now I'll run, then fly!
Now I'm free. So, you're free. We are free!

Inspired by Mahatma Gandhi & lyrics from "One Step" by Harold Payne:
"Stand up. Do not be moved by the forces around you. You are in control.
We can all save the world together, one step at a time" (Mahatma Gandhi).
"I get my inspiration from the words of the children.
I'm trying to teach myself what they already know.
If I can show my fellow man what a child can understand, then the seeds that I have sown will surely grow."
If I take one step in the right direction, if I touch one heart along the way,
And if that one step becomes a chain reaction, then my journey has not been in vain."

Inspired by lyrics from "Father's Day" by Johnsmith:
The whole business of God, the Father within all, is to care for us, to love us with an everlasting love, to note our slightest cry, and to rescue us.
God, my Infinite Father, hears every prayer and answers in perfect ways.
In my heart, I hear my Father tell me that He loves me.
God's love, like rain falling gently upon fallow ground, makes the fields of my heart turn green. I find ways to say, "I love you" every chance I get.
