DESERT

         The desert has appeared again
         A learning journey,I must make
         With this weight upon my soul
         Death to self,I do partake
         For I have branches that are dead
         Sap no longer reaches them
         I must sacrifice my right
         To be a self made worldly gem.

         He will snip and fashion me
         Loving cuts will form a shape
         I will trust Him,everything
         From His love I can't escape
         Here I am Lord,have Your way
         I am willing for Your hand
         To change me into something new
         I will follow Your command.

         Perfect Father,Loving God
         You have brought me to this time
         I cannot go on like this
         Need Your will and touch sublime
         Show me glimpses of completion
         Keep me trudging through the sand
         Brokeness is what I need
         Demolish me with Your fair hand.
