[Intro]
Xound Music
When will this pain end? (This pain)
I feel like fear stole my courage
It whips me with its power
And I have to win, I have to win, I have to win
The battle without my thoughts, I'm not lying to you
I don't have the strength to continue, but I'm not going to give up

[Chorus]
In the desert I'm growing
Despite what I'm living I'm still learning
What it means to have patience
I'm developing my resistance
In the desert I'll leave my footprints
I'll leave my footprints, I'll leave my footprints
In the desert I'll leave my footprints
I'll leave my footprints, I'll leave my footprints in the desert

[Verse 1]
I have to win the war against anxiety
I have one life and I'm going to fight for it
Like a lion roaring in the dark
I'm going to win, I'm going to win (Lord)
Deliver me from panic and insomnia
Renew my mind, rebuke guilt and my demons
This is one day at a time without losing faith
What I don't understand Now, I'll understand later
I'm creating new habits with sacrifice
Quitting vices and working hard on exercise
The vultures won't eat my leftovers
The enemy is amazed
Because I'm a warrior in the midst of shadows
The wind whispers its words of fear to me
But I resist, I'm going to win the battle within me
No child of God loses the war against depression, I

[Chorus]
In the desert I'm growing
Despite what I'm living I'm still learning
What it means to be patient
I'm developing my resistance
In the desert I'll leave my footprints
I'll leave my footprints, I'll leave my footprints
In the desert I'll leave my footprints
I'll leave my footprints, I'll leave my footprints in the desert

[Verse 2]
Lonely place ('I'm here), place of changes (I'm still)
Place of affliction, of transformation (For the better)
Place of thirst (Thirst), place of faith! (Faith!)
Place of experience (Yes), of resilience (Come on)
Place of the weak, place of the strong (It's me)
Place of life, place of death
When I faced what I feared
I realized I wasn't as weak as I thought
Lord, make me see that you're always there
Clear my confusion, bring me back to you
Help me believe in your word, not in my emotions
You gave me power to crush snakes and scorpions
Self-control controls my feelings
I keep renewing myself with suffering
I feel like you're making me a new me

[Chorus]
In the desert I'm growing
Despite what I'm living I'm still learning
What it means to have patience
I'm developing my resistance
In the desert I'll leave my footprints
I'll leave my footprints, I'll leave my footprints
In the desert I'll leave my footprints
I'll leave my footprints, I'll leave my footprints in the desert
