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
