Desert Times

There are times in our lives,
The Lord may lead us through
A lifeless, barren desert,
A time of testing too

But desert times can be
A place of special growth,
Where God can do a work
And let His healing flow

I know that in these times,
We don't feel God is there,
We feel so very distant
And lost without His care

But God is there beside you
To bring you to a place
Of cool, refreshing waters
Flowing with His grace

But for the present moment,
You maybe in a drought,
Don't give up on your faith
And don't you start to doubt

God is always faithful
And He will walk with you,
Through the darkest moments,
He'll be leading you.
