in every season...

i know my blogs are boring... and they are probably more for me because no one really reads these - but yet i still write them.

my music taste goes in spurts. there are some weeks i listen to my "slow, melancholy" music. actually, this is pretty typical. some weeks, top 40. others, hip-hop. recently though, i've really been craving praise music. this isn't unheard of but just not as common lately. not sure why. my heart has just been crying out i guess.

and my running music is usually hip-hop, etc. well, tonight i went for a walk. instead, i put my worship playlist on. and "the desert song" by hillsong came on. i about lost it on my walk... i mean tears falling. my last blog talked about what a great bday week i had. well, it was followed by a very hard couple of days regarding a situation that left me feeling kind of alone... feeling so attacked.

i was just so moved by that song. "In every season... YOU ARE STILL GOD" wow. He is, isn't it? i still have a reason to sing. i still have a reason to worship.

the lyrics:

The Desert Song by Hillsong

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

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

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

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

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

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 received I will sow
