New Foundation

I'm vulnerable, spinning in circles,
not much anymore seems clear.
Am I to stay, am I to go,
His voice I cannot hear.

Picture this..

Being held by your feet,
And turned upside down.
Dangling over uncertainty,
Silence becomes the worst sound.

Beneath you a hole is dug,
It goes down, oh so deep.
And under all the muck and mire,
Is something that makes you weep.

...TEARS OF JOY...

It's solid, it's strong,
not built with mans hands.
The former, it was faulty,
But this, I know it stands.

When I'm beat up and hurting,
And I feel as if I'm falling.
When my heart inside is melting,
This simple truth is reassuring...

There is a foundation thats unchanging,
It's built on Almighty alone.
And when I run to this strong tower,
I'm at rest, I'm at home.

My new foundation has now been laid,
One I'm sure will not crumble.
The only thing to still be broken,
Is my heart, because it's humbled.

Ps 51:7

"Wash me with hyssop and I shall be clean; Wash me and I shall be whiter than snow..."

Make my heart to always know,
the love and mercy you've always shown.

May my eyes always see,
The wonderful things you've done for me.

Help me to find joy in sorrows,
and never worry about tomorrows.

Bring the sins not in sight,
out of the darkness; Into your light.

With your blood remove my stains -
No more guilt, no more shame.

When my heart is filled with pain,
be my comfort, send the rain.

Oh to be held in your arms,
there is peace, I'm not alone.

You give me hope, you make me strong.

A perfect love, how can it be,
that you'd find delight,
in (the likes of me)

...a wretch like me

Stand

I know I still love you.

Though I don't feel like I once did.

The romance has faded,

We're back from our trip.

Not wanting to leave,

I'm quite happy with you...HERE

HERE...I just feel the fire has grown dim,

Everything's so still.

But I WAIT

Not running away

On this covenant I've made,

I'll honor it.

"For richer or for poorer, In sickness and in health,"

til death unite us...and thereafter...

I choose today to take you Jesus,

In sickness and in sorrow.

In pain and in struggle.

To be both Lord and Savior

Both now and forevermore.

I will love you

JESUS I choose to love you

Emotions are dry,

Feelings are gone...

BUT i know, I Love You!

So i'll stand...

...knowing nothing else to do,

I'll just stand...

RIGHT HERE

RIGHT NOW

...and wait for you!

I praise you for where you've brought me

We've shared some rough years

In the midst of it all

You've covered me

and held my tears.

WE'VE come this far,

I'm not turning back...

...as for now,

I'll.....just.....stand!

A beautiful day in the midst of December...

Lord, you bring a beautiful day in the midst of December,
Making a break in this winter to let the sun shine.

Removing memories of the blistery chill,
Replaced with a gentle breeze that I claim as mine.

To step outside to a spring-like day,
In exchange for the bitterness of cold.

Bringing a smile to this battered face,
Removing pains and scars of old.

I’m not quite sure how you do it,
Turning into day this night.

But fortunate for me you do it,
What was hopeless is filled with light.

Outside there’s so much dying,
And trees are left so bare.

Yet you’ve come and changed a day for me,
Somehow, you really care.

Lord, you bring a beautiful day in the midst of December,
Making a break in the winter to let the sun shine.

Removing memories of the blistery chill,
Replaced with a gentle breeze that I claim as mine.

All I Crave, Want & Need

I'm ready for this transition,

And whatever may have to change,

Open up this vessel,

I don't want to be the same.

All I want is you,

The one who calms my storm.

Who leads me on the water,

Who guides me safely home.

All I crave is you,

The one who helps me stand.

No one else completes me,

I'm reaching for your hand.

All I need is you,

I'll risk being alone,

Alone with you Jesus,

Change this heart from a stone.

Calling for your presence,

Surrendering myself to thee.

I choose to be with you,

Walking with my KING!

Living Puzzle

Scattered pieces on the floor,
Needing picked up once more.

~

I've tried to put myself together,
Far too many bad attempts.


Once again one piece is missing,
The center piece seems to be exempt.

~

So this time I try something new,
I'll mix up the pieces and give them to you.

~

I'm broken here before you now,
I've given up all my way.


This life has become such a disaster,
So I surrender all the pieces to you today.

~

My perception of this puzzle must have been so dense,
because before you touched it, nothing made sense.

~

But now that I've laid it in your hands,
I now know that you are the key.


I could never finish it on my own,
I was incomplete, but yet you completed me.

Random Thoughts

Psalm 118:24


© 2011 by Demesha Wright

"This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it."

So, the sun's shining, not cold, not hot...it truly is a BEAUTIFUL day...like..i've really been thinking a lot about creation...and just how awesome God is. I mean...look around...BEAUTIFUL. To think about Him placing the stars in the sky blows my mind. The earth, the sea...and then theres me. A nobody...nothing special...to think God made me...out of everything out there on the face of the earth, nothing fulfilled Him more than you and I. Someone He could love and who could 'choose' to return love. Someone to walk and talk with. To be in close intimate fellowship with. Looking at the beautiful sky wasn't enough, gazing at ocean waters and how the light reflects off its waves, and the way the sun sets at night...out of all that, He chose to be interested in me! Crazy!
