In the
desert of my days
There came no cooling rain
And the burning sun stopped
me without mercy
And I cried out at the time
I must be paying for some crime
And my loneliness, seemed,
nobody heard me
In the days were weeks,
the weeks were months,
the months seemed years.
In the dust and sand, a thirsty man battles fear,
praying help ap pear.
In the desert of my years,
there fell no rain, only tears as I struggled on with hope,
along to claim it all.
The rugged hills all
looked the same
Across the endless dry terrain
An d to the silent skies
I cried, My God, where are you?
And the days were weeks,
the weeks were months
The months seemed years
In the dust and sand, the thirst and rain
In battle's fear,
praying a help would appear
And then He came to me
in a cool and gentle breeze
And in a healing rain
I heard Him say, I love you
I've been near my child
every weary mile
Oh, there must have been times
when it seemed like I'd forgotten you
And I led you through the
barren desert too
Of the land of milk and honey
Now before you
Yes, I'm bending through
the barren desert too
The land of milk and hon ey
The land of milk and honey
The land of milk and honey
Now before you
You
