IN THE DESERT

IN THE DESERT ...
My desert walk
with God ..

He hears my
passion as
I speak
and pray ..
He knows
 my heart..
It is on display ..

Waves of
darkness
are  felt
deep within ..
 My  darkest
hours..
My deadly
sins..

It is in the
desert
I  reach
to Him...
I am
transfixed,
I am on
a limb ..

He has
not moved,
not left or right ..
He has been
right there,
right from
the start ...

It is the desert
my soul
is stirred..
Where Christ
himself was
sore disturbed..

Temptation great,
He overcame..
He walked alone..
He put us all
to shame ..

No greater Love,
God gave His Son..
He died alone..
He said,
"it is done"..

So when
temptations
become
so great ..
I go with
Him alone
on this
desert trek..

I think of
Christ when
temptation
came ..
He walked
alone..
He felt
no shame .

Walking the
desert in light
and love ..
I've cast my
doubts
to the
One above..

He has never
failed me
when I cry
His name ...
Oh Christ, my
sins, I feel
their shame ..

I  know He
knows from
whence I came..
I recall His  trek..
He victoriously
overcame ..

Mark 1:13
