Our Lord is a merciful God.

Into the desert he leads us with nothing more then His Word.

Stripping us of self and stripping us of vice.

Into the desert we go for love of Him, seeking His face of mercy.

Into the desert we journey, humbled we stay.

He leads us to drink from His river of grace.

Glory be God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit! Heaven and earth are full of your great glory. Hosanna in the highest! Teach me to be nothing, love me into a vessel filled with only You. Use me as Thy slave with no desire but to please. Bless me with mercy so I may be an instrument of your light, your love, and your life.

Please dear sweet Jesus,
Take me to the desert and show me Thy river.
