life of faith

The Desert Song (Hillsongs)

Verse 1:
This is my prayer in the desert
And all that’s within me feels dry
This is my prayer in the hunger in me
My God is a God who provides

Verse 2:
And 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 flames

Chorus:
And I will bring praise
I will bring praise
No weapon forged against me shall remain

I will rejoice
I will declare
God is my victory and He is here

Verse 3:
And this is my prayer in the battle
And triumph is still on it’s way
I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ
So firm on His promise I’ll stand

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

Verse 4:
This is my prayer in the harvest
When favor and providence flow
I know I’m filled to be emptied again
The seed I’ve recieved I will sow

I really like this song now, every verse speaks to me, not only about my current dissertation but everything that has been going on in my life. I’m gonna call it my dissert (desert) song! =) And my heart is just filled with thanksgiving that I can worship Him in every season even in desert times. And coincidentally, I was reading 1 Peter 1:7 yesterday, “These have come so that your faith - of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire - may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.” Believe He is refining my faith through the circumstances, and this is something worth far more than gold in His eyes. May He continue to refine my faith =)
