The Desert
Glen Campbell
1992 album Wings Of Victory

Intro  Gm C Bb Gm Am Dm G Bb F C

Verse 1

  Dm     Am
The desert is a barren land
 Bb      Gm    Am
A widerness of rock and sand
  Dm         G      Bb  F C
It crys aloud for the fall of the rain
  Dm      Am
And ever sifting sea of dust
   Bb       Gm    Am
That knows no mecry shows no trust
 Dm          Am     Bb
A sunbaked waste for a scorpion`s domain

Verse 2

  Gm         Am
The dunes they rise the dunes they fall
Bb        Dm
Marching forth to conqueor all
           Am        Bb  Dm
That have no mind to move out of their way
Bb        F
The man who turns heart away
   A   A7    Bb
From Jesus Christ the King
     F
Is as a desert

Verse 3

  G7                Bb   Dm
His sand is made of faith in earthly things
  Bb      Am
His hopes become mirages
    Bb          Gm
And his heart grows cold and cruel
             A7
And when a man enthrones himself as King
   Bb C      Dm  Bb C F
Then His master is a fool

Verse 4

      C        Gm         Dm
The desert can move into a garden filled with fruits
  Bb        F       G
The King of Peace can fall in a holy storm
  F        C      Gm        Dm
His sand can turn to clay for the potter`s hands to shape
    D#       Bb        C
Yes the deserts of the heart can be transformed
            C7   Dm  C F Bb Gm Am Dm G Bb C#7
If you open your heart to the Lord

Verse 5

The desert can move into a garden filled with fruits
  B         F#       G#m  C#
The King of Peace can call in a holy storm
  F#        C#      G#m        D#m
His sand can turn to clay for the potter`s hands to shape
    E       B         C#
Yes the deserts of the heart can be transformed

If you open open your heart to the Lord

Open your heart to the Lord
