In my wilderness

In my wilderness

It was in my wilderness that He came to me

That’s where I discovered my God

He did not set bushes on fire

He just showed me that I can always be found

It was in my wilderness that He touched me

And His touch is tattooed on my heart

Always there imprinted forever

To remind me we can’t be apart

It was in my wilderness that He found me

Bound up in a ball of misery and pain

He kissed my forehead and whispered

“You will never be the same again”

It was in my wilderness that He spoke to me

It was there that we had our first date

In the desert I saw He was real

And His presence I could no more negate

It was in my wilderness that He held me

In the desert He watered my soul

Under scorning sun He promised me forever

That He’ll pick me up whenever I’m falling and then always make me stand tall.

"Don't enemy, crow over me. I am down, but I am not out. I'm sitting in the dark right now, but God is my light...He is on my side and is going to get me out of this.He'll turn on the lights and show me His ways. I'll see the whole picture and know how right He is. And my enemy will see it, too and be discredited- yes, disgraced! This enemy who kept taunting, "So where is this God of yours?" Micah 7:8-10 a, The Message
