Desert Father

[Verse 1]
When we were young
We walked where we wanted to
Life was ours
And now we've grown old
We go where we’re told
The Lord’s Spirit calls

[Verse 2]
He’s singing
Follow my road to sorrow and joy
Be intertwined
And find
All things are under my wings
And rise
Given time

[Chorus 1]
Oh my
Brother sun, sister moon
All children of light
Fly around the world
Let the glory be unfurled
All things are made new

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus 2]
To part the water
Desert Father
Show us a new way
The impossible dream
Through the deep and the unseen
Carry us home

[Chorus 2 - Variation]
Please part the water
Desert Father
Show us a new way
The impossible dream
Through the deep and the unseen
Carry us home
