Desert Song

I just read this from a very good friend's blog and decided to "steal" it over (thanks vic ^__^) because it struck me real hard.

Desert Song

This is my prayer in the desert
When all that’s within me feels dry
This is my prayer in my hunger and need
My God is the God who provides

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 flame

I will bring praise, I will bring praise
No weapon formed against me shall remainI will rejoice, I will declare
God is my victory and He is here

This is my prayer in the battle
When triumph is still on its way
I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ
So firm on His promise I’ll stand

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

This is my prayer in the harvest
When favour and providence flow
I know I’m filled to be emptied again
The seed I’ve received I will sow

I am a culprit of being overwhelmed in seasons of dryness and trials. Like now, I find it hard to look beyond problems and weaknesses. I need to be freed to break forth in songs of worship and praise for His promise of harvest stands true. In every season I will not wither but flourish.
