[Intro]

Dm Bb F C

(repeat)

Dm Bb

lost in a windswept land

F C

in a world of shifting sand

Dm Bb F C

a fragile flower stands apart

Dm Bb

and there in that barren ground

F C

you feel like you're the only one

Dm Bb F C

trying to serve Him with all your heart

Dm Bb F C

and you wonder, wonder can you last much longer

Dm Bb

this cloud you are under

F C

will it cover you

[Chorus]

Dm Bb

desert rose, desert rose

F C

don't you worry, don't be lonely

Dm Bb

heaven knows, heaven knows

F C

in a dry and weary land

a flower grows

F C Bb

His desert rose

Dm Bb F C

desert rose

Dm Bb

sometimes holiness

F C

can seem like emptiness

Dm Bb F C

when you feel the whole world's laughing eyes

Dm Bb

but if it's a lonely day

F C

know you're on the Father's way

Dm Bb F C

He will hear you when you cry

Dm Bb

and He will hold you, hold you

F C

your Father will hold you

Dm Bb

He will love you, love you

F C

for the things you do

[Repeat chorus]
