River In The Desert (Worship Anthem)

Verse 1

I was dry ground

Cracked faith

Dust on my tongue

Every prayer felt

Like a stone that never sunk

Then You spoke light

Into places I had closed

Said

“I’m not done”

And the wasteland started to grow

Chorus

You are a river in the desert

You are the song in my drought

You took my silence

Made it singing

All of my fears

You drowned them out

You are the fire in the ashes

Hope where I once saw none

You are a river in the desert

Jesus

You’re where my help comes from

Verse 2

I see green now

On the edges of my doubt

Little mercies

Breaking up the hardened ground

Every sunrise

Feels like You’re still writing me

New beginnings

In the middle of my history

Chorus

You are a river in the desert

You are the song in my drought

You took my silence

Made it singing

All of my fears

You drowned them out

You are the fire in the ashes

Hope where I once saw none

You are a river in the desert

Jesus

You’re where my help comes from

Bridge

When I’m tired of walking (oh-oh)

You run to find me first

When I say it’s over

You speak a better word

Everywhere You’re flowing

Dead things start to rise

I thought it was the ending

You were turning on the light

Chorus

You are a river in the desert

You are the song in my drought

You took my silence

Made it singing

All of my fears

You drowned them out

You are the fire in the ashes

Hope where I once saw none

You are a river in the desert

Jesus

You’re where my help comes from
