Wanderin’ Thru the Desert

I have heard this song 4,000 times.  But yesterday, while I was doing dishes, it hit me differently.  It spoke to my heart uniquely. It brought me to my knees and tears poured down my cheeks.  It reminded me that even when I'm wandering in the desert, He loves me enough to pursue me.  I don't understand that.  My mind does not comprehend that, but I know it is true.  I have met Him in the darkness before, and He will meet you there too.

I was feelin’ that, feelin’ that breeze 

Singin’ like a song thru the tall oak trees 

It was just another summer night 

Had to be the last thing on my mind 

Yeah, I was all but lost in the moment 

I was young and runnin’ wide open 

It was just another summer night 

Had to be the last thing on my mind

When love broke thru 

You found me in the darkness 

Wanderin’ thru the desert 

I was a hopeless fool 

Now I’m hopelessly devoted 

My chains are broken 

And it all began with You 

When love broke thru 

And it all began with You 

When love broke thru

I did all that I could to undo me 

But You loved me enough to pursue me 

Yeah, You drew me out of the shadows 

Made me believe that I mattered, to You (You)

You were there, You heard my prayer in that broke down dusty room 

It was the first time I said I’m Yours

The first time I called You Lord

When love broke thru 

You found me in the darkness 

Wanderin’ thru the desert 

I was a hopeless fool 

Now I’m hopelessly devoted 

My chains are broken 

And it all began with You 

When love broke thru 

And it all began with You 

When love broke thru

Yeah, it was late in the summer when the northeast breeze 

Sang like a song thru the oak trees 

Pennsylvania 

She kind of caught my soul 

Which had me a little more open than closed 

Walls I built 

Opinions I learned 

Covered in the ashes of bridges I burned 

Blind to the arrow that headed to my heart 

But You hit the mark

When love broke thru 

You found me in the darkness 

Wanderin’ thru the desert 

I was a hopeless fool 

Now I’m hopelessly devoted 

My chains are broken 

And it all began with You 

When love broke thru

You found me in the darkness 

Wanderin’ thru the desert 

I was a hopeless fool 

Now I’m hopelessly devoted 

My chains are broken 

And it all began with You 

When love broke thru 

And it all began with You 

When love broke thru

I did all that I could to undo me 

But you loved me enough to pursue me
