Desert Song

We sang this song at Church this past Sunday... I thought I would share the lyrics with ya'll.

Verse 1:
This is my prayer in the desert
And all that's within me feels dry
This is my prayer in the hunger in me
My God is a God who provides


Verse 2:
And this is my prayer in the fire
In weakness or trial or pain
There is a faith proved
Of more worth than gold
So refine me Lord through the flames

Chorus:
And I will bring praise
I will bring praise
No weapon forged against me shall remain


I will rejoice
I will declare
God is my victory and He is here


Verse 3:
And this is my prayer in the battle
And triumph is still on it's way
I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ
So firm on His promise I'll stand


Bridge:
All of my life
In every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship


Verse 4:
This is my prayer in the harvest
When favor and providence flow
I know I'm filled to be empited again
The seed I've recieved I will sow

To Blog.

You know, I've never really understood the point in blogging. I've given this a few tries in the past - but I've never stuck with it.

Why? Well, why would I?

I struggle with 'what to write' that and I'm just bad at keeping up with this. Although, I wonder, why not keep my thoughts to my journal? Why bring them into the blog-sphere?

Is this place appropriate for such thoughts? Unlikely. So what do I write about here? This is a question I have not yet found the answer to. However, I am not against blogging and I suppose I've had an urge to blog a little after reading through various blogs.

Anyways, have you ever wanted to do something, but didn't know how to start? This is my current situation with poetry. I have never been a fan of writing poetry - in fact I always despised such assignments that required me to do so. I have always found writing poems to be more of a hassle then rewarding - and I have never found the desire to write a poem.

Until recently that is. I suddenly have an urge to write a poem - I don't want to publish the poem in any medium, I just want to write it for the sake of expressing myself. Yet, I have found it impossible to start...

I have had many things in my head - I've been working on it for quite awhile... And yet, when I try to write something down or to even say it... I lose it.

Who knew that my desire to write a poem - an event that I have always despised - would be so hard for me to do now.

Anyways, I'm done with this for now. Adios.
