Desert Song

A worship song by Hillsong, written by Brooke Fraser. I heard from an interview with Jill McCloghry, another Hillsong worship leader, that the song ministered to the depths of her heart when her baby boy did not pull through due to various complications. Although that was the darkest point in her life, she still put her trust in God, because He is still God, and deserves our worship no matter what circumstances we go through.

Job in the Bible experienced a similar situation, when he was afflicted with much pain and sorrow through various circumstances, because Satan wanted to test his loyalty to God. In Job 1:20-22, we see that Job did not curse God on account of all the mishaps that he was going through. Instead, he understood that we come into this world with nothing, and shall leave with nothing as well. But in all this, God will and should be praised. And we learn that he did not commit any sin because of this attitude he had. Oh may God help us through our "desert" moments, to praise Him because He is still God, and because He has given us victory over sin in Christ.
