All the nights in a tent

Out under those stars

All the days in that sand

Did your heartache leave scars?

 

They say you were righteous

Because you believed

But I see a sad man

Brought to his knees

 

From waiting and longing

And never belonging

You led him to the desert

To hear your soft singing

To hear your tender voice

 

Chorus

Oh, LORD, you are our very great reward

Your promises are just rainbows 

Your presence is the morning dew

Oh, LORD, you are our very great reward

So keep all your treasures

All we want is you

 

The father of faith,

Was broken like me

From waiting and wondering, 

Striving and conniving

But his darkness was helpless

In the warmth of the your light

Your irresistible love

Conquered his dark night

 

You drenched him with faith

In the torrent of your love

Oh how could we imagine 

That this goodness comes from us?

Your love makes us able 

To do impossible things

But we’re merely soaring

Upon your precious wings
