Glen Campbell — The Desert

The desert is a barren land A wilderness of rock and sand It cries aloud for the fall of the rain And ever sifting sea of dust That knows no mercy, shows no trust A sunbaked waste for a scorpion's domain The dunes they rise, the dunes they fall Marching forth to conquer all That have no mind to move out of their way The man who turns heart away From Jesus Christ the King Is as a desert His sand is made of faith in earthly things His hopes become mirages And his heart grows cold and cruel And when a man enthrones himself as King Then His master is a fool The desert can move into a garden filled with fruits The King of Peace can fall in a holy storm His sand can turn to clay for the potter’s hands to shape Yes the deserts of the heart can be transformed If you open your heart to the Lord The desert can move into a garden filled with fruits The King of Peace can call in a holy storm His sand can turn to clay for the potter's hands to shape Yes the deserts of the heart can be transformed If you open open your heart to the Lord Open your heart to the Lord
