i have a reason to sing.

we sang hillsong's "desert song" in church yesterday and it's been stuck in my head ever since. i'm sure most of you know the song, and if you don't, you should probably go to itunes right now and purchase it. the lyrics are convicting and encouraging. i've been needing a fresh reminder of these promises. in every season, he is God. he alone is provider, refiner, and my victory. on the good days and on the hard days, i have a reason to worship.

enjoy.

this is my prayer in the desert,

when all that's within me feels dry.

this is my prayer in my hunger and need,

my God is the 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 flame.

this is my prayer in the battle,

when triumph is still on its 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.

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.

and 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.
