On This Desert Road

I don't wanna write this, I don't wanna write this withered song
I don't wanna walk this, no, I don't wanna walk this desert road
And I know there's a bigger picture
I know there's a great unknown
But I don't wanna write this story
I don't wanna be the one
On this desert road
On this desert road

I don't wanna ask you, but could there be another way?
Is this the only path through rubble and dust and broken clay?
I'm trying to still believe You
That I'll never walk alone
Ooh, maybe only time reveals You
When there's so many miles to go
On this desert road
On this desert road

In this dry and weary land
The darkest days I've ever known
Father, lead me by Your hand
On this desert road
As I'm breathing in this dust
I am singing out Your name
Singing out Your Name
And I surrender
And I trust
On this desert road
As I lift my head, I see
So many desperate souls in need
I'll walk with them as You walk with me

On this desert road
Oh, oh, oh
On this desert road
Oh, oh, oh-oh
On this desert road
On this desert road
Oh, oh, oh
On this desert road
On this desert road
