Desert of My Days

Lyrics

In the desert of my days There came no cooling rain And the burning sun stalked me without mercy And I cried out at the time "I must be paying for some crime" And in my loneliness it seemed nobody heard me And the days were weeks The weeks were months The months seemed years In the dust and the sand A thirsty man battles fear Praying help would appear In the desert of my years There fell no rain, only tears As I struggled on with hope alone to cling to The rugged hills all looked the same Across the endless dry terrain And to the silent skies, I cried, "my God, where are You?" And the days were weeks The weeks were months The months seemed years In the dust and sand A thirsty man battles fear Praying help would appear And then He came to me In a cool and gentle breeze And in a healing rain I heard Him say, "I love you" I've been here, My child Every weary mile Oh, there must have been times When it seemed like I've forgotten you And I've led you through The barren desert to The land of milk and honey Now before you Yes, I've led you through The barren desert to The land of milk and honey The land of milk and honey The land of milk and honey Now before you
