Desert Song

Have you ever heard the Desert Song by Hillsong? If not, you should just look it up on YouTube. Here are the lyrics:


"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
And weakness or trial or pain.
There is 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 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 conquerer and co-heir with Christ
So firm on 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 reason to sing.
I have a reason to worship.

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

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

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.

And 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."


While I was sitting on the couch watching tv tonight, God put this song in my heart, specifically one part: "All of my life, in every season, you are still God. I have a reason to sing. I have a reason to worship."

God's character never changes. He's always the same. No matter what we're going through, we can sing and worship Him because we're certain of who He is. The song reminds me of a verse God gave me when we first moved here.

"I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak tenderly to her. And there I will give her her vineyards." Hosea 2:14

Some versions say desert instead of wilderness. The wilderness or desert for me is the Seattle area. God's promise to me is true. He has been so kind and tender to me despite my lack of faith. I know he will bless me by giving me "my vineyards." I can't wait to see what He does with our lives!
