Lyrics
(Spoken)
Sometimes God will pull you away
To build you in the dark where no one sees
The wilderness isn't punishment
It's preparation
(Singing)
It's quiet here
No one else around
Just the sound of tears
Hitting holy ground
I tried to run, but the desert called my name
And in the silence I heard You say
My child, be still
This place is grace
I'm not punishing you
I'm making space
You're pruning me for purpose
You're teaching me to trust
This crushing isn't killing me
It's drawing out Your love
It's just me and God in the wilderness
He's breaking me down so I can rest
The crushing and the pressing
It's not in vain
He's birthing oil through the pain
In the fire, I'm refined
Not destroyed
It's just me and God in His still small voice
Every broken piece You hold with care
Whispering softly, "I'm always there"
I lost some friends, I lost my pride
But I found Your presence deep inside
Like clay in the Potter's hands
You're shaping me for Your perfect plan
Like oil from the olives crushed
You're drawing out what looks like dust
But in this breaking, I can see
You're building something strong in me
It's just me and God in the wilderness
He's teaching me trust in the loneliness
No stage, no lights, no crowd to please
Just me and God, I'm bending knees
In the fire, I'm refined
Not destroyed
It's just me and God in His still small voice
It's just me and God in the wilderness
With my faith restored
The wilderness prepared me for more
When You say speak, I'll lift my song
‘Cause it's been me and God all along
Let endurance have its perfect work
Now my heartbeat steady
Tried and true
