Desert Song

So, a very good friend of mine just played me this song, and now its been in my head a lot the last few days. Here are the lyrics and if I figure out how to post a link to the song I will, but I'm kind of doubting my computer skills at this moment in time.

Verse 1:
This is my prayer in the desert
And all that's within me feels dry
This is my prayer in my hunger and need
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 formed 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

Chorus:
And 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


Bridge:
All of my lifeIn every season
You are still GodI have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship

Chorus:
And 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


Verse 4:
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

So I don't know if it was obvious what my favorite line of the song is, but right now its, "no weapon formed against me shall remain". Something that God has been teaching me, a lot this past year but now too, is that I am free from the worries and thoughts that have held me back from seeing Him in the past. There are things that I am tempted to again sometimes make me feel trapped, but the thing is, Christ has made me free and so I am free indeed! (Gal. 5:1 and theres another verse that I love but can't think of right now.) But the point is, Jesus makes us free, so again and again we need to lay aside our worries and the things we let hold us back. We to lay them at His feet and continue to have faith that He keeps them there and He has the victory in our lives as well as in this entire universe!! So lets bring our praise to Him!!
