Rivers and trees, there are none,
Parched and alone under the sun.
Sit for a while, recover my child,
Again you will wander alone in the wild.
Oasis I see, but as I draw near,
Mirage as it is, new fountain of fear.
Wind and sand circle around,
Testing my faith, hope will abound.

Through The Desert I wander.
Over the years I ponder,
How I got lost in the wild.
Broken, with faith of a child.
Fear, choosing to conquer,
Through The Desert I wander.

Shall I press on? I ask Him above,
Press on My child, find strength in My love.
My feet are ablaze, hot is the ground,
The enemy lurks, vipers surround.
Journey along in this desert I will,
My faith is a sword, vipers to kill.
Never alone, others pass by.
Their countenance stark, their lips very dry.

Through The Desert I wander.
Over the years I ponder,
How I got lost in the wild.
Broken, with faith of a child.
Fear, choosing to conquer,
Through The Desert I wander.

Together our eyes turn to the sky,
Father, where are you?
We breathe out our sigh.
Patience My child, this is your test,
In Living Waters you have your rest.
