[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] 2X

        Dm  Bb          F                C
Desert rose,  don't be lonely, don't be lonely
        Dm  Bb  F                C
Desert rose,     ooh, don't you worry
        Dm  Bb             F            C
Desert rose,   don't you know He'll be with you
        Dm             Bb
Heaven knows, Heaven knows
         F                  C               Bb   F  C  Dm
He will call your tattered heart on desert rose
