In This Desert

on Monday, March 2, 2009


You alone are the witness of my failures.
You alone know the weight of this chaos.
The troubles of this world have overcome me
With no soul to comfort me
For I am alone
Here in this desert

So I tried to seek you
But you seemed distant to me.
I tried to feel you
But you seemed cold to me.
When, Oh Lord, will you rescue me
Here in this desert.

In the coldness of this arid land
I curled up to keep myself warm.
And with a little hope lingering in my head
I thought of Your Cross and Your victory over death.
So I knew Your power could save me
Here in this desert.

So with my body failing
I cry out to you again.
Saying, “Lord, have compassion on me
For my wounds are ever upon me
And my chains, they have subdued me
Here in this Desert.

My Lord, I may not understand your plans
For Your thoughts are unfathomable.
All I know is that amidst these troubles
Your favor will surround me.
Your oasis will satisfy me
Here in this desert.

This is really beautiful, There is one part that really clicked to me, when you said, “Lord, have compassion on me For my wounds are ever upon me And my chains, they have subdued me Here in this Desert. The part of the chains really touched me, I felt this, like last week I had on those chains, but the Lord heard my crys and I was released from those.
Just a truly thought provoking post. thank you
Blessings
