Song Lyrics

"Desert Father"

by Josh Garrels
Album: Jacaranda

When we were young

We walked where we wanted to

Life was ours

And now we're old

We go where we're told

The Lord's Spirit calls

He's singing

Follow my road to sorrow and joy

Be intertwined

And find

All things are under my wings

And rise

Given time

Oh my

Brother sun, sister moon

All children of light

Fly around the world

Let the glory be unfurled

All things are made new

We're marching on

To a spirit song

That no man can cage

In lands of dead wood

That reject the good

From our old Father's hands

But we run free

And weep gracefully

In a world

Dark and cold

Hold on

All you

Who wait by the blue shores

For Him

To part the water

Desert Father

Show us a new way

The impossible dream

Through the deep and the unseen

Carry us home
