Desert Song

Today's song of the day is Desert Song by Hillsong.
The words are great. Whne you are feeling like you aren't close to God and you need to get back to Him. When things aren't going the right way. When you feel lost and alone.

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.

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

I will bring praise!

I will bring praise!

No weapon formed against me shall remain!

I 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 by His promise I'll stand

I will bring praise

I will bring praise!

No weapon formed against me shall remain

I will rejoice

I will declare!

God is my victory and He is Here!

All of my life

In every season

You are still God

I have a reason to sing!

I have a reason to worship!

I will bring praise

I will bring praise!

No weapon formed against me shall remain

I will rejoice

I will declare

God is my victory and He is Here!

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.

These words speak volumes to me. The first time I heard this song was when we were leading worship with two spectacular women that are so full of God. Mimi brought this song to practice one Thursday night and said the women were singing a special song. I fell in love with it the first time we sung it. I needed to hear it at the time. God never said it was going to be easy. God never said He was going to let us lead a life full of joy and never have to cry or feel pain. He does tell us that He is here and with us. This song tells me that I am not alone when I feel alone. God is always with me, standing right beside me, with His strong hands holding me up when I feel like I am going to fall flat on my face. When all things are awry, He is there with me, telling me it's going to be okay. Telling me that He is here to hold me when I cry and envelop me with His strong arms. He loves me even when I don't think I deserve it. He forgives me when I do something I need to be forgiven for. He helps me walk with my head held high even when others judge me. I highlighted my favorite words of this song. I will listen to this song in the car sometimes and just raise my ands in the air during the bridge. I am sure to others I look like a complete nut, but I don't care. Definitely one of my favorite Christian songs of all time.

God is my victory and HE IS HERE!!!
