Desert Father
When we were young
We walked where we wanted to
Life was ours
And now we're old
We go where we're told
The Lord's Spirit calls
He's singing
Follow my road to sorrow and joy
Be intertwined
And find
All things are under my wings
And rise
Given time
Oh my
Brother sun, sister moon
All children of light
Fly around the world
Let the glory be unfurled
All things are made new
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
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
To part the water
Desert Father
Show us a new way
The impossible dream
Through the deep and the unseen
Carry us home
We walked where we wanted to
Life was ours
And now we're old
We go where we're told
The Lord's Spirit calls
He's singing
Follow my road to sorrow and joy
Be intertwined
And find
All things are under my wings
And rise
Given time
Oh my
Brother sun, sister moon
All children of light
Fly around the world
Let the glory be unfurled
All things are made new
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
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
To part the water
Desert Father
Show us a new way
The impossible dream
Through the deep and the unseen
Carry us home
