Barren Land
Cultivating Life in Barren Soil: A Spiritual Journey
Lyrics
Barren land can overflow with
Barren land has the potential to overflow with abundance.
Life and fruit and fields that grow
Life, fruit, and flourishing fields can emerge in barren places.
In the barren land with labor and toil
In barrenness, hard work and labor are required.
Planting seed and tilling soil
The process involves planting seeds and cultivating the soil.
Will stay the same, stay the same
The state of barren land can persist if no action is taken.
But if for rain! but if for rain!
Expressing a desire for rain as a transformative force.
But if for rain to fall, irresistibly call
Invoking a call for rain that is irresistible and powerful.
Rain to cover me
Requesting rain to cover and bring renewal.
But if for rain to heal, uncontrollably fill
Hoping for rain to heal and fill the soil uncontrollably.
The soil of eternity
Connecting rain to the eternal and transformative nature of God.
And barren land will overflow with
Reiteration of the potential of barren land to overflow with abundance.
Life and fruit and fields that grow
Reemphasizing the emergence of life, fruit, and growth in barrenness.
Holy Spirit, spur me to till
Asking the Holy Spirit to inspire the process of cultivating barren land.
A once barren land so thirsty still
Describing the once barren land as still thirsty and in need.
For living water, O God, sustains
Recognizing God as the sustainer of living water for nourishment.
So life and fruit and fields remain
Highlighting that life, fruit, and fields persist with God's sustenance.
Lest they stay the same, stay the same
Warning against remaining stagnant and unchanged.
