Barren was my heart,
Parched my soul,
Yet You quenched my thirst,
You made me whole.
As desert winds,
I mourned in desolation;
Yet You kiss me with love,
You don me with salvation.
So as the crocus flower
I now burst into bloom;
You refresh with Living Water,
Your love does consume.
Where gray skies loomed,
The sun does shine;
Jesus, You warm my soul
With Your love divine.
For all is beautiful
When You, Jesus, are here;
The sun shines brilliantly,
The blue skies are clear.
And even when trials
Beset on every side,
Nothing do I fear
For I am Your bride.
You are my heart’s song,
You are my celebration;
I kiss You with gratitude,
I kneel in adoration.
For You quenched my thirst,
You made me whole;
My heart garden blooms,
So too the flower of my soul.

Purposeful Pathway
The desert and the parched land will be glad;
the wilderness will rejoice and blossom.
Like the crocus, it will burst into bloom;
it will rejoice greatly and shout for joy
The glory of Lebanon will be given to it,
the splendor of Carmel and Sharon;
they will see the glory of the LORD,
the splendor of our God.
Isaiah 35:1-2 (NIV)
