Desert

[Verse 1]
You are with me in the desert
You have held me through the years
Every step, You have been present
Every breath, You have been near
When I wandered, You were faithful
You came close when I fell down
Not condemning me for failure
But to lift me from the ground

[Verse 2]
Lead me ever in Your mercy
Through the day and through the night
Through my hunger and my thirsting
Always be my guiding light
If I never see Your glory
Never reach the promised land
If all others go before me
Still You have me in Your hand

[Verse 3]
When You lead me to the Jordan
When You roll the river back
Give me courage for the journey
Lead me through the shadowlands
Keep me trusting in Your goodness
All the wonders You have shown
Bring me then into the fullness
Of the mercy I have known
