| You Shall Cross The Barren Desert |
| |
| You shall cross the barren desert |
| But you shall not die of thirst. |
| You shall wander far in safety |
| Though you do not know the way. |
| You shall speak your words in foreign lands |
| And all will understand. |
| You shall see the face of God and live. |
| |
| Be not afraid. |
| I go before you always; |
| Come follow me, |
| And I will give you rest. |
| |
| If you pass through raging waters |
| In the sea, you shall not drown. |
| If you walk amid the burning flames |
| You shall not be harmed. |
| If you stand before the pow'r of hell |
| And death is at your side |
| know that I am with you through it all. |
| |
| Blessed are your poor, |
| For the kingdom shall be theirs. |
| Blest are you that weep and mourn |
| For one day you shall laugh. |
| And if wicked men insult and hate you |
| All because of me |
| Blessed, blessed are you! |
| |
