Water in the Desert of Love
(c) 2011 Jon Trott
There is sweet temptation that is pure
There is a sensual touch that’s God-sure
There is a thought, a breath, a word
A name each heart beat said and heard
Draw me to you in this laughter in these tears
The personal mystery of our history ends fears
You are…
Water in the Desert of Love
Your face opens to me prayerful inspiration
Your mind-body-world departure / destination
Your hands do me good all days of my life
Your heel crushes Satan’s head destroys his strife
Draw me to you in this laughter in these tears
The personal history of our mystery outlasts years
You are…
Water in the Desert of Love
Sad face of our suffering Savior we see here
Glad grace risen with Him draws us gently near
Love is strong as death though it doesn’t seem true
Until your tender lips on mine; until you pray me through
Draw me to you in this laughter in each tear
The Personal Mystery of our history draws near
You are…
Water… water… water… water…
For Carol
