desert song

August 28, 2009

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 

I will bring praise
I will bring praise
No weapon formed against 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 conquerer and co-heir with Christ
so firm on HIs promise I'll stand 

All of my life in every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship 

This is my prayer in the harvest
Where favour and providence flow
I know I'm filled to emptied again
The seed I've recieved I will sow

really, Brandon?

very rarely do I ever find the Spirit encouraging me towards a regretful thought or a rash emotion. today, this week, this summer has consisted around one central thought. In the past I have made rash decisions and never experienced life altering consequences for those. no doubt, they’ve led me to where I am and the Lord has brought them for stones to step on…but, Lord, I want you, I want your glory, and I want that central thought of the past few months to invest into my heart and never be lodged elsewhere.

I pray His desires and His heart become my heart and my desires. Only then can I proclaim that I live saturated in truth.
