I Am Not Alone

I've never seen the earth turn this dry and weary

These cracks beneath my feet resemble my heart

My thirst for rain is a burden I cannot carry

This ritual of shame tears my world apart

I am not alone

You are the desert you are the storm

I am not alone

You are the promise you will restore

I am not alone

Moment to moment I live hoping to be known

These days, from where I stand, move painfully slow

You God of time know the cries of all your children

You ache while we try to make this world our home

I am not alone

You are the desert you are the storm

I am not alone

You are the promise you will restore

I am not alone

You will send the rains

Never again will I be shamed

I know you will repay all the years the locusts have taken

I am not alone

You are the desert you are the storm

I am not alone

You are the promise you will restore

I am not alone
