Desert Song
Below are the lyrics to a tune called “Desert Song” off the new Hillsong United CD. Words and music by Brooke Fraser.
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
(Chorus) 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 on his promise I’ll stand
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.
All of my life; In every season; You are still God; I have a reason to sing; I have a reason to worship
My favorite line is “I know I’m filled to be emptied again.” Ever thought about that?
The lyrics are powerful and the line about being filled to be emptied again I can relate to. This is good. Now I am curious as to what the song SOUNDS like. And because of the genius of Chris McGill, I can go there and do that! When my book becomes a megamillion dollar best seller I will hire Chris to follow me around and do computer stuff for me. Wait, did I say “follow me around”? Ok, let’s try another idea.
Wow, sounds like it’s going to be an amazing album.
I completely agree with you, that we are indeed “filled to be emptied again”
God gives us the strength to keep living each day and he re-energizes us each day so that we can spend that energy to people God’s love. Then He fills us back up after we’ve spent His “cup.”
That’s an amazing analogy, I really like it
