"desert song" by hillsong united is such an amazing song. it's performed by brooke fraser and jill mcloughry of the hillsong church. God truly does have the victory in trial. i realize that i need to learn to rejoice through all circumstances and that i always have reason to worship. like when i think about it all my trial have been soo trivial compared to what others have been thru. in that video clip, jill mcloughry talks about how she lost her pre-mature baby just over a week before she had to record this album. i can't imagine her pain...like why would God make you go thru 6 months of pregnancy and joy just to end it. jill's words are really powerful "my circumstance in this season doesn't change--that God is still God. it doesn't change what God's called me to be or what he's called me to do. and he's still on the throne in heaven; and He still rules; and he's still bigger than anything i'm facing." i really pray that i'll have that type of faith as i'm being refined.
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 recieved I will sow
