Desert Road
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I don't wanna write this song
I don't want this pain to be my story
I don't want this desert road
Are you sure this is the plan that you have for me?
Out here in the dust and clay
God, if there's a bigger picture
It's gettin' hard to see today
But I know that you won't leave me
I don't know if this is goin'
But I know who holds my hand
It's not the path I would've chosen
But I'll follow You 'til the end
Lord, as long as I am breathin'
I will make Your glory known
Even if it means I'm walkin'
On this desert road
(Where you lead me, I will follow)
On this desert road
(Where you lead me, I will follow)
You got my attention now
I was doin' the talkin', but now I'm listenin'
This is where my hope is found
Knowin' life is hard, but you're still with me
I'm not out here on my own
You are close to the broken-hearted
'Cause you already walked this road
And you're gonna finish what you started
I don't know if this is goin'
But I know who holds my hand
It's not the path I would've chosen
But I'll follow You 'til the end
Lord, as long as I am breathin'
I will make Your glory known
Even if it means I'm walkin'
On this desert road
(Where you lead me, I will follow)
On this desert road
(Where you lead me, I will follow)
(Where you lead me, I will follow)
'Cause you lift my hand, I see
(Where you lead me, I will follow)
So many desperate souls in need
(Where you lead me, I will follow)
I'll walk within as you walk with me
(Where you lead me, I will follow)
You're the livin' one between the thirsty
I don't know if this is goin'
But I know who holds my hand
It's not the path I would've chosen
But I'll follow You 'til the end
Lord, as long as I am breathin'
I will make Your glory known
Even if it means I'm walkin'
On this desert road
(Where you lead me, I will follow)
On this desert road
(Where you lead me, I will follow)
So many desperate souls in need
(Where you lead me, I will follow)
I'll walk within as you walk with me
(Where you lead me, I will follow)
