desert song x2

So in Sept. I had my post Desert song, then last night I was able to go to a Hillsong United concert, what surprise! It was such a great night of praise and worship.
They talked about relationships, how do we really love others, only because Christ loved us first, how do we have compassion - only because we've rec'd such amazing grace and mercy! That our hearts won't be harden that we could walk away or past great need without batting an eye. Are we willing to hear but then enter into the stories of the pregnant single girl, the man who doesn't see the great value in his life, the stories that don't match ours. We were made for relationship!

So here are the lyrics, because I like them and I can relate to them:
Verse 1:
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

Verse 2:
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

Chorus:
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

Verse 3:
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

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

Verse 4:
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
