Dive

April 17th, 2008 by jessvitha

The long-awaited rains have fallen hard upon the thirsty ground
Have carved their way to where the wild and rushing river can be found
And like the rains I have been carried here to where the river flows, yeah
My heart is racin’ and my knees are weak as I walk to the edge
I know there is no turning back once my feet have left the ledge
And in the rush I hear a voice, it’s telling me it’s time to
Take the leap of faith
So here I go

I’m diving in
I’m going deep
In over my head I wanna be
Caught in the rush
Lost in the flow
In over my head I wanna go
The river’s deep
The river’s wide
The river’s water is alive
So sink or swim
I’m diving in
I’m diving in

There is a supernatural power in this mighty river’s flow
It can bring the dead to life, and it can fill an empty soul
And give a heart the only thing worth livin’ and worth dyin’ for, yeah
But we will never know the awesome power of the grace of God
Until we let ourselves get swept away into this holy flood
So if you’ll take my hand, we’ll close our eyes and count to three
And take the leap of faith
Come on let’s go

In The Light

July 18th, 2006 by jessvitha

I keep trying to find a life

On my own, apart from you

I am the King of excuses

I’ve got one for every selfish thing I do

The disease of self runs thru my blood

It’s a cancer fatal to my soul

Every attempt on my behalf has failed

To bring this sickness under control

What’s going on inside of me

I despise my own behavior

This only serves to confirm my suspicions

That I’m still a man in need of a Savior

I wanna be in the light

As You are in the light

I wanna shine like the stars in the heavens

Oh Lord be my light

And be my salvation

Cause all I want is to be in the light

Honesty becomes me

There’s nothing left to loose

The secret that did runs me

In Your presence are defused

Pride has no positions

And riches have no worth

The faith that once did cover me

Has been sentenced to this earth
