The songs

The Desert Song


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


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


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


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


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

When favor and providence flow

I know I'm filled to be empited again

The seed I've recieved I will sow



This song has been the encouragement I need. There those things that I've been called to do, and this is the song that tells me it will be worth it. No weapon formed against me shall remain. I need to hear these things.


Lately the theme for my life has been fire. I've been thrown into the furnace, and I'm burning. Now I wait to see if I will be refined in the flame and then saved, or if I will be burned up. I hope to come out of it, to see all those things I contend for redeemed... but even if You don't, I will still stand in the fire, to bring glory to You.


You are able to deliver from the fire of affliction
It’s the declaration of my Lord
You’re not an image of gold
You’re the God of old
You have made us
Come and save us
We are Yours
But even if You don’t
We will burn!


This has been the question God has asked me. Will you still be thrown into the fire, and trust my faithfulness, even if I don't save you? My answer: yes. I will. There is no doubt in my mind that even if this destroys me, I will still go. But that's not what I want. I want them to know of God's redemption! I want them to understand His love for them. They need it. It is the most essential piece to the puzzle. If they could understand that.



God is my victory and He is here.
