After Desert Times

"Jesus was here!"

Thats what you'll hear

At the end of prayer meeting

From a new girl

This is her second time

Someone who's young in faith

(but is growing ever so quickly)

Saw a vision as we were closing our prayer

We prayed for exams

We prayed for Sarawak

We held hands in unity

And a strong light she saw

6 of us in a tight circle

A strong white light in the centre of us all

She tried looking up to see

How high will this light really be

Too bad we ended with "Amen"

The moment our grasped hands let go

The vision was no more

She couldn't see how far the light could go

While explaining

It started coming

The light resembled Jesus

And that He was near

Why can't she see the end of the light?

For all we know it may reach the Heavens

A revelation came

"Do not measure My love"

Desert times

This was how I felt

And I bet the members did too

At the state of our prayer group

Even before the sem started

I was praying with heart

Asking God where is He taking us

On the path where our seniors started

Prayer is good

But why pray every night

Don't you have friends to be with?

And aren't you suppose to be studying?

There were questions

There were doubts

Not only from others

But also from me

A dry season came

And on His word we sustained

It may have became mechanical

Or just duty to go through the motions

But we stayed faithful

And the members continued attending

Even though there was no fire

God saw our heart's desire

It was dry times

Like in a hot desert

With no water in sight

You'd think the Holy Spirit hide

Walking on dry ground with rocks all around

Yet holding onto our faith

And tapping onto others

Every night we still came to pray

And tonight God came to show us the way

Out of the desert and into green pastures

He came and stood in the form of light

In the centre of the circle

Revealed to her sight

I'm excited for prayer

And believe there's more in store

As we take the focus off ourselves

And start praying for others as well

God will come and when He comes

It'll be like a roaring lion

Or a strong wind smack in our face

We better be ready

For its after desert times.....

(WooHoo!!!)
