A windblown sky on a desert plain
that's never seen the rain
Stumbling along with his water gone
Hands and knees on the desert floor
Je sus save me from this hell I'm in
looking down a rocky cliff
Rise my God, tell me what to do
The answer then comes in a quiet word
We're only just a mo ment
from the Saviour's loving hands
He sends us to the desert
to make a faithful choice
We believe the fear and doubting
but we trust His quiet voice
Kneeling, then standing on
Echoes of the promises of God
Choosing, then stepping out on desert air
Suddenly he's by a stream,
for the place that disappeared
he views the desert scene
Shuts the door and locks it,
from the Savior's loving hands
He sends us to the desert
to make a faithful choice
We believe the fear and doubting,
for we trust His quiet voice
4.8
