The ground is dry around my feet, so tired of working, need to rest
To meet my needs, I’m trying hard, still I do not have God’s best
It seems I’m fruitless where I am, this field I’ve worked, it shows no life
Oh, the joy, when God was leading, constant joy, not endless strife
–
Lord, today I’m finally asking, what is it we’re missing now?
Show us what we need to fix, as before Your throne we bow
We’ve checked all of our little boxes, but we haven’t seen You move
We feel like a baseball team, who hasn’t got a single glove
–
My little children, you’re relying, on a method cast in stone
But I work through something better, it relies on flesh and bone
Through My children I am working, bringing glory to My Name
Reaching to the world beyond them, loving everyone the same
–
Renew your time with Me alone, seek Me as a hidden jewel
Time in silence helps to sharpen, effectiveness just like a tool
I’ll tell you what your thoughts should be, and all the words that you should say
I’ll guide your feet along your path, to touch each one you meet today
–
The way of life is not a method, that you write inside a book
Not a thing that you can fix, like you could hang it on a hook
The life I give is through the vine, you must be connected there
The difference is from night to day, you’ll have strength enough to spare
–
Love for God is your first duty, let it come authentically
Read My word and it will cleanse you, fill your mind so you can see
Keep Me first in time and honor, witness through your actions true
Your reward is now awaiting, its amount depends on you
–
Love yourself enough to serve Me, Who could bring you more reward?
Now for meaning you are searching, fear has tied you, cut the cord
Hesitation makes you lose out, on what I could do with you
Reaching people, with the message, that I really love them too
–
Be the hand that cares to reach them, touching them right where they are
Be the mouth that speaks to teach them, leads their minds to think and spar
Be the feet that want to go to, just the place you need to be
Be the eyes that catch the vision, share with them so they can see
–
Be the tree beside the water, daily from its river draw
All you need is new each morning, resourced to live out your call
Walk with Me along the way, then step out onto the wave
Give your all into My hand, watch Me work and see Me save
–
Noah built the ark by faith, in the desert filled with sin
though he had not seen the rain, he trusted Him Who reigns within
My fruitfulness depends on God, He uses whom He has prepared
He plants my feet where He is working, and bids me join Him if I dare
–
The prophet called out to dry bones, the God of Life calls to His own
Trust Me when you cannot see, I control the seed that’s sown
In the darkness, you don’t see Me, walking with you through the storm
As the rain begins to pour, we walk together arm in arm
