En Medio Del Desierto

Sometimes life feels like a desert
No water, no shade, no direction
My strength falls away with the wind
And my soul screams out without consolation

But there in the middle of the silence
A voice starts to speak to me
Reminding me I’m not walking alone, that your hand will lift me up

In the middle of the desert, you are with me
My pillar of fire, my shelter and cover
Even when the sun burns me and the dust blinds me

You guide me with love step by step, faithful witness
I’m not alone, I won’t get lost, even if the path is uncertain
You are the God who opens ways, in the middle of the desert

I’ve cried under starless skies
I’ve doubted if you’ll respond
But in the depths of my sorrow
You whispered, I will never leave you
Your promises were my sustenance, your word my reason to believe
Even if I don’t see the promised land
I will follow you, I will trust

You bring forth water from the rock
You give rest to the broken soul
Even in the hottest heat, your shadow wraps me

You don’t fail, you don’t lie, you are eternally faithful
The desert is just a passage, the promise is ahead

In the middle of the desert, you are with me
My refuge, my breath, my divine shelter
When I fall, you lift me up and make me walk

In you I rest, in you I trust
My God, my home, my peace

Even if the sky trembles beneath my feet
And the voices of fear try to conquer me
I will lift my eyes to the heavens
Because I know, you fight for me, once again

In the middle of the desert, you are with me
My refuge, my breath, my divine shelter
When I fall, you lift me up and make me walk

In you I rest, in you I trust
My God, my home, my peace

Oh
You are the God who opens ways
In the middle of the desert
And in you
I will trust
