The Trial

Walking circles in a desert land
Out of hope I feel so lost
Without an anchor in a raging storm
with every wind my mind is tossed

On my knees I come to you Oh God
In the middle of this trial
Tears are rolling down my face
Haven't heard from you in a while

I'm frightened and I'm lonely
And I don't know what to do
I need your presence in my life
I need a word from you

The devil is a clever sort
Whispering lies into my ears
I begin to pray, I hear him say
Is Jesus really here?

I want to please just you my Lord
Though my flesh sometimes controls
Make my spirit strong, show me where I'm wrong
Teach me what I need to know

You are my strength and shield Oh Christ
Victory is your name
My rock, My God, My king, My sword
Your blood takes away my shame

The devil is defeated
Peace comes from up above
Jesus has won, new day's begun
I'm filled with Holy love
