Demetrice

Lord, You look down and You see Demetrice

A spirit of meekness, a heart full of peace

I would give my last to a soul in need

Planting Your kindness like a mustard seed

I see Your face in the children I hold

Watching Your tenderest mercies unfold

Before anything else, before the stars above

Father, You are my very first love

I dwell in the shelter of Psalm ninety-one

A Proverbs woman standing in the Son

When the heavy winds blow and the shadows fall

Through Christ who gives me strength, I can do it all

I am a child of God, held by His grace

Safe and secure in the secret place

A few years ago, the valley was deep

Losing my siblings, I could only weep

Back-to-back heartbreaks, the tears wouldn't dry

I lifted my hands and I looked to the sky

But You held me close in the darkest of night

And carried my fragile heart into the light

The sorrow has built a strong woman now

I am standing much firmer, Lord, You showed me how

I dwell in the shelter of Psalm ninety-one

A Proverbs woman standing in the Son

When the heavy winds blow and the shadows fall

Through Christ who gives me strength, I can do it all

I am a child of God, held by His grace

Safe and secure in the secret place

I try to be the one who is always there

Pouring out comfort, pouring out prayer

Giving my last just to see someone smile

Walking beside them the extra mile

But the love that I give doesn't come from me

It flows from the Savior who set my soul free

I dwell in the shelter of Psalm ninety-one

A Proverbs woman standing in the Son

When the heavy winds blow and the shadows fall

Through Christ who gives me strength, I can do it all

Yes, I am Demetrice, held by Your grace

Forever secure in Your secret place
