Ron Block - Door Way lyrics

A windblown sky on a desert plain A sea of burning sand that's never seen the rain Stumbling along with his water gone Dried-up tears and a longing for his home Hands and knees on the desert floor Pounding out a prayer to the Lover of his soul Jesus, save me, from this hell I'm in Suddenly he sees he's looking down a rocky cliff He can't go back, he can't go through Cries, My God, tell me what to do? The answer then comes in a quiet word Onward, go onward is the whisper of the Lord In fearful desperation, in suffocating sands We're only just a moment from the Savior's loving hands He sends us to the desert to make a faithful choice We believe the fear and doubting or we trust His quiet voice Kneeling, then standing on the jagged edge Echoes of the promises of God inside his head Choosing, then stepping out on desert air Suddenly he's by a stream, birds singing everywhere Looking back for the place that disappeared Sees a wooden doorway standing in the field Through the open frame, he views the desert scene Shuts the door and locks it, then throws away the key In fearful desperation, in suffocating sands We're only just a moment from the Savior's loving hands He sends us to the desert to make a faithful choice We believe the fear and doubting or we trust His quiet voice
