Barren Land

Barren land can overflow with
Life and fruit and fields that grow
In the barren land with labor and toil
Planting seed and tilling soil
Will stay the same, stay the same

But if for rain! but if for rain!
But if for rain to fall, irresistibly call
Rain to cover me
But if for rain to heal, uncontrollably fill
The soil of eternity

And barren land will overflow with
Life and fruit and fields that grow

Holy Spirit, spur me to till
A once barren land so thirsty still
For living water, O God, sustains
So life and fruit and fields remain
Lest they stay the same, stay the same

(Hebrews 6:1-3, John 5:39; 6:44, Ephesians 2:8-10, Psalm 119:73)
