Desert Land Wanderers

Desert Lands
Trading Yesterday

Standing alone with my heart in your hands
Longing to just breathe you in
You traded our love for a life of desert lands
Giving yourself away again
But I will give my life to win your heart
And I will tear apart my soul
I'll give away all I know to bring you home
For all that is true, for all of the way
With all of my life
You hold my heart, you have my love
You are my bride
Without a goodbye a passion of lies
Steals you away
The thirst of desire is drawing you in
But the memories of white, the garden
Of life is taken away
But I'm fighting to hold you again
So I will give my life to win your heart
And I will tear apart my soul
I'll give away all I know to bring you home
For all that is true, for all of the way
With all of my life
You hold my heart, you have my love
You are my bride
Nothing can shatter the promise I
Made to you
Our love will make you whole
I will be faithful, dying to be with you
I will not let you go
But I will give my life to win your heart
And I will tear apart my soul
I'll give away all I know to bring you home
For all that is true, for all of the way
With all of my life
You are my love, you are my church
You are my bride.
This song amazes me. Its echos in my soul and reminds me of Christ's pursuit of us, the ones who search for lies and Desert Lands when there are truths and lush Gardens for us.
"But I will give my life to win your heart..."
My friends, my loved ones, don't let these words go in one ear and out the other. let it resonate in you and let Christ sing this over you as He delights in you and you in Him. (Zeph. 3:17)
(here a link to the song... enjoy and let it resonate)
