Desert Road Lyrics | Casting Crowns

 Desert Road


I don’t want to write this song

I don’t want this pain to be my story 

I don’t want this desert road

Are you sure this is the plan that you have for me


Out here in the dust and clay

God if there’s a bigger picture

It’s getting hard to see today 

But I know that you won’t leave me here


I don’t know where this is going 

But I know who holds my hand

It’s not the path I would have chosen 

But I’ll follow you to the end

Lord as long as I am breathing 

I will make your glory known

Even if it means I’m walking

On this desert road (where you lead me I will follow)

On this desert road (where you lead me I will follow)


You got my attention now

I was doing the talking but now I’m listening 

This is where my hope is found

Knowing life is hard but you’re still with me

I’m not out here on my own

You are close to the broken hearted

Cause you’ve already walked this road

And you’re going to finish what you started 


I don’t know where this is going 

But I know who holds my hand

It’s not the path I would have chosen 

But I’ll follow you to the end

Lord as long as I am breathing 

I will make your glory known

Even if it means I’m walking

On this desert road (where you lead me I will follow)

On this desert road (where you lead me I will follow)


Where you lead me I will follow

As you lift my head I see

Where you lead me I will follow

So many desperate souls in need

Where you lead me I will follow

I’ll walk with them as you walk with me

Where you lead me I will follow

You’re the living water to the thirsty 


I don’t know where this is going 

But I know who holds my hand

It’s not the path I would have chosen 

But I’ll follow you to the end

Lord as long as I am breathing 

I will make your glory known

Even if it means I’m walking

On this desert road (where you lead me I will follow)

On this desert road (where you lead me I will follow)

So many desperate souls in need

Where you lead me I will follow

I’ll walk with them as you walk with me

Where you lead me I will follow
