Desert Prophets
Verse 1:
In quiet corners, whispers rise,
A stirring deep, beneath the skies.
Hidden prophets, feel the call,
Elijah’s mantle, on them falls.
Chorus:
“Come forth, come forth,” the Spirit cries,
In desert hearts, let courage rise.
Proclaim the dawn of God’s new day,
“Repent, for the kingdom’s on its way.”
Verse 2:
From silent prayers, bold voices born,
With burning hearts, they sound the horn.
No longer hidden, no longer small,
They stand to answer God’s great call.

“Come forth, come forth,” the Spirit cries,
In desert hearts, let courage rise.
Proclaim the dawn of God’s new day,
“Repent, for the kingdom’s on its way.”

Oh Lord, ignite the silent tongues,
With Elijah’s fire, let songs be sung.
A call for change, a call to wake,
In their boldness, nations shake.

In desert hearts, let courage rise.
Proclaim the dawn of God’s new day,
“Repent, for the kingdom’s on its way.”
