(Intro)
Dm Bb F C (repeat)

[Dm]lost in a [Bb]windswept land

[F]in a world of [C]shifting sand

[Dm]a fragile [Bb]flower stands [F]apart[C]

[Dm]and there in that [Bb]barren ground

[F]you feel like you're the [C]only one

[Dm]trying to [Bb]serve Him with all your [F]heart[C]

and you [Dm]wonder, [Bb]wonder [F]can you last much [C]longer

[Dm]this cloud you are [Bb]under

[F]will it cover [C]you

(Chorus)

desert [Dm]rose, desert [Bb]rose

don't you [F]worry, don't be [C]lonely

heaven [Dm]knows, heaven [Bb]knows

in a [F]dry and weary [C]land

a flower [Bb]grows

His desert [F]rose[C][Bb]

desert [Dm]rose[Bb][F][C]


[Dm]sometimes [Bb]holiness

[F]can seem like [C]emptiness

[Dm]when you feel the [Bb]whole world's laughing [F]eyes[C]

[Dm]but if it's a [Bb]lonely day

[F]know you're on the [C]Father's way

[Dm]He will [Bb]hear you when you [F]cry[C]

and He will [Dm]hold you, [Bb]hold you

[F]your Father will [C]hold you

[Dm]He will love you, [Bb]love you

[F]for the things you [C]do

(Repeat chorus)
