Rejected and thirsty
Dejected and dry
Burdened with worry
So why even try
But you in your mercy
When I turned aside
Made streams in the desert
Where I would have died
If you hadn't found me
And opened my eyes
God who sees
Look on me
God who hears
Hear my plea
When I fear let me see
When the going gets tough
It is not up to me
You alone are enough
You came to deliver
I gave up control
Your peace like a river
Flowed over my soul
You called me to follow
Then when I wanted more
Your love like an ocean
Swept over my shore
God who sees
Look on me
God who hears
Hear my plea
When I fear let me see
When the going gets tough
It is not up to me
You alone are enough
(Then God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. And she went and filled the skin with water, and gave the lad a drink. Gen 21:19)
