In the Dark

Written by DeeDee in Poetry

My failures consume my mind
like a fire they make me blind
I can never be good enough
my best isn’t best enough

where has all my hope gone
that faith that used to be so strong
I never thought I’d lose it all
and lose myself within the fall

I can’t deny You’re there
and I know You care
but why can’t I feel it in my heart

I can’t deny that You’re there
and I know You care
but I’m alone
and we’re drifting apart
I’m crying out in the dark

Stumble

Written by DeeDee in Poetry

I stumbled today
and now I can’t
find the words to say
I’m sorry
forgive me
can I be new again

Why do I stumble
Why do I fall
Why do I put myself thru this
stumbling, falling down

sometimes you’ve gotta fall
to hit your knees again
to breathe again
to ask for forgiveness
and go on again

Start

Written by DeeDee in Poetry

Woke up this mornin’
to the same face I see everyday
look at my reflection
grab my bag and head on my way

sometimes I get so distracted
so ashamed by the way that I’ve acted
sometimes I wish I could start all over again

Chorus:
And start it out right
the way that I should
down on my knees with You
let you take flight here in my life
and be in control of me
starting on my knees

Woke up this mornin’
on the wrong side of the bed
still mad about the things
that my best friend did and said

sometimes I’m so quick to anger
can’t believe I told her I hate her
sometimes I wish I could start all over again

Chorus

Why can’t we stop
and just take a minute
and let God spend time with us
Why do we gotta be so wrapped up in ourselves?

Chorus

The Answer is in You

Written by DeeDee in Poetry

I’m so caught up
tangled in a web of emotion
and feeling things I don’t understand

I don’t know why
I feel like I’m stuck inside
but I have hope in Your perfect plan

’cause I know
no matter what the outcome
I’ll be alright

Chorus:
You hold the answers to the mysteries around me
You know the future and the present that surrounds me
it’s true
the answer is in You

Sometimes I fall
I trip on all the clutter
and make a mess of all You’ve made right

no matter how I try
I’m not a perfect girl
I’ll never live up to the expectations placed upon me

but I know
no matter my mistakes
I’ll be OK

Chorus

Come Fill This Place

Written by DeeDee in Poetry

Holy Spirit come and fill this place
may our hearts welcome You in
You are our lantern
let us walk in Your light again

You’re the healing that makes us whole
You’re the embrace that warms our heart
open our hearts to be filled with Your love
send us Your presence from above

Holy Spirit come and fill this place
may our hearts welcome You in
You are the oil for our lantern
let us walk in Your light again
