Allured into the wilderness
A place I would not choose
Emptied arms and open heart
Welcome gifts I cannot lose
Promised love fills the barren
Like jars left out for the rain
Desert air without a cloud
But I do not wait in vain
Prayer offered in the waiting
Hope is whispered in my ear
Tenderly He speaks to me
And I walk lighter without fear
I am satisfied with You my God
Your grace has proven more
Here in the place of scorching
Hope provides the door.
(Inspired by Hosea 2:14-15)
