[Intro]
Dm Bb F C (repeat)
Dm Bb
lost in a windswept land
F C
in a world of shifting sand
Dm Bb F C
a fragile flower stands apart
Dm Bb
and there in that barren ground
F C
you feel like you're the only one
Dm Bb F C
trying to serve Him with all your heart
Dm Bb F C
and you wonder, wonder can you last much longer
Dm Bb
this cloud you are under
F C
will it cover you
[Chorus]
Dm Bb
desert rose, desert rose
F C
don't you worry, don't be lonely
Dm Bb
heaven knows, heaven knows
F C
in a dry and weary land
Bb
a flower grows
F C Bb
His desert rose
Dm Bb F C
desert rose
Dm Bb
sometimes holiness
F C
can seem like emptiness
Dm Bb F C
when you feel the whole world's laughing eyes
Dm Bb
but if it's a lonely day
F C
know you're on the Father's way
Dm Bb F C
He will hear you when you cry
Dm Bb
and He will hold you, hold you
F C
your Father will hold you
Dm Bb
He will love you, love you
F C
for the things you do
[Repeat chorus]
