Sometimes there are periods of time 
When it seems like nothing is going on 
It seems like all you have holding you together 
Is just the fact you know God’s Son
Dry times have lasted for so long 
A refreshing time seems so far away 
But, suddenly in the midst of the heat 
The sound of rain seems to be coming your way 
The drought may finally be over 
Existence may be more abundant than “bare”
The place where you have so longed for communion 
God may just be bringing you there 
His desire to show His power to you 
May be the refreshing just on the brink
He is ready to prove that His way 
Will never bring thirst after you drink 
I am so ready to follow my God 
He knows I have faithfully stood 
My faithfulness that has seemed so feeble 
I would improve its status if I could 
Wisdom won’t let me live in the past 
Staying there will surely destroy my peace 
Living in the present like God says to do 
Will cause much torment to cease 
I have learned much in the dryness
God has really been my “everything”
Now is the time for me to shout His glory 
And for me to let His praises ring
