Barren Land

(album: Carry Away - 2003)

Barren land can overflow
With life and fruit and fields that grow
Even in the labor and toil
Planting seed and tilling soil
Will stay the same, stay the same

But if for the rain! But if for rain!
But if for rain to fall irresistibly call
Rain to cover me
But if for rain to heal, uncontrollably fill
The soil of eternity

And barren land will overflow
With life and fruit and fields that grow

Holy Spirit spur me to till
A once barren land so thirsty still
For living water, O God, sustain
So life and fruit and fields remain
Lest they stay the same, stay the same

But if for the rain! But if for rain!
But if for rain to fall irresistibly call
Rain to cover me
But if for rain to heal, uncontrollably fill
The soil of eternity

But if for the rain! But if for rain!
But if for rain!
