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

God was always with us,
Even when we would sin,
He lends a hand to keep us,
When we fail to keep Him.

He talks in many puzzles,
And walks in many ways,
And shows in little riddles,
And guides our lives always.

In times when we hide from him,
Even when we do doubt,
When faith is lost and broken,
He wills us to come out.

I have one I wrote a while back, it's about the progression of sin/elitism/harshness since the start of man, and how the world has changed to know God less as times go on:

If light fell on these whimpers,
The pain once would restrain,
But vengeance mated with solitude,
With consequence; sequential pain.

What heart can harness all it must,
In era which gives not enough?
Adonis? Aphrodite?
But no room for simple us?

If might must mean the most,
Then the mighty reign elite,
But king's reigns are but dust,
Between Carpenter's feet.

In most souls, lies a fever,
A sickness, hope deferred,
That beauty might be found,
Beyond the skin, the clothes, the fur.


If all pine in aversion,
To ways that leave man beat,
And hold close dreams of freedom,
Then love's what me must be.
