Desert Walking

There's no use complaining,
in the desert, if you're there.
You might stoke up God's anger
and fall into despair.

The tempter tries to tease you,
with the words, "It's not fair!"
Yet, God's always leading,
even when you're unaware.

There's a time of waiting...
and your life can seem so dry.
Praise the name of Jesus,
even when you don't know why.

God holds all the answers
and His promises are true.
You persevere through dark times,
as He's preparing you.

Stand upon the Bible.
Let God's wisdom fill your heart.
For Jesus knows in full,
what you only know, in part.

One day, you'll see so clearly,
through all the bumps and turns,
God knows just how to guide you.
He knows, how his sheep learn.

Give your cares to Jesus
and believe He'll see you through.
Looking toward Heaven,
takes the focus off of you.

Stop looking all around you
and at the faults of man.
If you let judgement blind you,
you'll never understand!

When you abide in love,
like the God, who first loved you,
His floodgates will open
and His peace will filter through.
