Desert Song
Natalie Grant's song is a prayerful declaration of trust in God through every season of life. It speaks of relying on God in times of dryness, pain, and battle, and choosing to praise Him regardless of circumstances. The lyrics affirm that God provides, refines through trials, and secures victory. The bridge emphasizes that God remains constant through all seasons, giving reason to worship. The song draws on biblical themes of God's provision, refining faith, and the believer's identity as a conqueror through Christ.
[Verse 1:]
This is my prayer in the desert
When 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 or more worth that gold
So refine me, Lord through the flames
[Chorus:]
I will bring praise
I will bring praise
No weapon formed 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
When triumph is still on it's way
I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ
So firm on His promise I'll stand
[Chorus:]
I will bring praise
I will bring praise
No weapon formed against me shall remain
I will rejoice
I will declare
God is my victory and He is here
[Bridge:]
All of my life
In every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship
[Bridge:]
All of my life
In every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship
[Bridge:]
All of my life
In every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship
[Chorus:]
I will bring praise
I will bring praise
No weapon formed against me shall remain
I will rejoice
I will declare
God is my victory and He is here
[Chorus:]
I will bring praise
I will bring praise
No weapon formed against me shall remain
I will rejoice
I will declare
God is my victory and He is here
[Verse 4:]
This is my prayer in the harvest
When favor and providence flow
I know I'm filled to be emptied again
The seed I've received I will sow
