Praying in the wilderness amidst the famine’s blight
In this place of desolation, we seek for the light
In the valley of the shadows We stumble and may fall
In our desperation on the Lord we call
He meets us in our dismay
In this dreaded place he stands
In desolate places He is the Way
A respite in a dry and weary land
We learn new ways of mercy
We learn of unknown graces
When we are devastated
In the desolate places
Desperate and begging in our hunger and our thirst
Bankrupt and devastated when this world has done its worst
We languish like a leper, in this desolate place
We cry out for mercy and cast ourselves on grace
The sinner’s desperation
Deformed and unclean
Our Savior touches lepers
And we know what healing means.
We learn new ways of mercy
We learn of unknown graces
When we are devastated
In the desolate places
Luke 5:12-16
