"Deserts to Oceans" by Naomi Striemer

United States of America

An original song "Deserts to Oceans" with Naomi Striemer | Album: Hope That Breaks the Dark | naomistriemermusic.com

I've seen oceans turn to deserts

I've seen mountains turn to canyons

Where is Your love?

Where was Your love?

I felt pain and felt abandoned

I felt broken almost forgotten

Where is Your love?

Where was Your love?

But it's the deserts that You use

To show me who You are

In the valleys alone with You

I see You God

In the driest times I found

I cry out for Your rain

So I'm crying out right now

To see Your face

To see Your face

You can turn deserts into oceans

I've seen You bring life out of nowhere

There Is Your Love

There Was Your Love

So come on God won't You hear me

Come on God please try near me

I need Your love

I need Your love

But it's the deserts that You use

To show me who You are

In the valleys alone with You

I see You God

In the driest times I found

I cry out for Your rain

So I'm crying out right now

To see Your face

To see Your face

I'm on my knees

Lord hear me

And I'll believe in faith

that You've allowed this pain

But it's the deserts that You use

To show me who You are

In the valleys alone with You

I see You God

In the driest times I found

I cry out for Your rain

So I'm crying out right now

To see Your face

To see Your face

You can turn deserts into oceans

You can bring life out of nowhere

    Snowy Night’s Prayer

    In Austria, young Amelie lost her headlamp while sledding in the dark, snowy night. After praying for help, she and her family immediately found something even more important—their lost house keys, which would have left them locked out in the freezing cold. Her story shows how God answers prayers in the way we need most, not always the way we expect.

    The Davis’ Indians - Part 2

    After Ovid Elbert Davis died of blackwater fever in 1911 at Mt. Roraima, the Indigenous believers he had taught in British Guiana continued meeting every Sabbath at his grave, singing the hymn he taught them and pleading for another teacher. Fourteen years later, missionaries finally returned, finding more than 130 people still faithful to the commitment Davis recorded before his death. Today, his legacy lives on through the Davis Memorial Hospital in Georgetown and the thriving Adventist communities that grew from his early work.
