The Desert Song @ 8:03 AM

Verse 1:
This is my prayer in the desert
And all that's within me feels dry
This is my prayer in the hunger in me
My God is a God who provides

Verse 2:
And this is my prayer in the fire
In weakness or trial or pain
There is a faith proved
Of more worth than gold
So refine me Lord through the flames

Chorus:
And I will bring praise
I will bring praise
No weapon forged against me shall remain
I will rejoice I will declare
God is my victory and He is here

Verse 3:
And this is my prayer in the battle
And triumph is still on it's way
I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ
So firm on His promise I'll stand

Bridge:
All of my life
In every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship

Verse 4:
This is my prayer in the harvest
When favor and providence flow
I know I'm filled to be emptied again
The seed I've received I will sow

When reading through a friend's post, I realised the emptiness and dryness inside me. I've ran away and forgotten the work set out for me. I've drunk from the cup of worldly pleasure and became drunk, disillusioned with the life I live. Where is God now? Who is God?

And all that within me feels dry

A steady draft of wind blows against me. Ye little plant, how do you hold? What soil is that beneath you? Holy ground? Where do you get your water? From the Spring of life?

So refine me Lord through the Flames

In this time of busyness and the stress of exams, don't let your faith fade away. I've always wondered why people become so much more distant from God in times where they need him the most. Now I know. The cup of sin and worldly pleasure is the poison of our hearts. Keep God near always and naturally we will be drawn closer to Him in times of need.

My God is a God who Provides

What's next? How? The troubled soul calls to the maker. He pleads, yearns, surrenders. God break me once more. That I may realise my wicked ways and turn from the darkness. Woe to me who knows so little. I am but nothing.

This is my prayer in the hunger in me
My God is a God who provides


And I will bring praise
I will bring praise
No weapon forged against me shall remain
I will rejoice I will declare
God is my victory and He is here

Amen.

~THAT I MAY BE RESTORED~
