Wading through the desert with staff in hand
Each step laborious, but I know, I can
Make it to the well, that’s just up ahead
Help me LORD…prayers, said…
The journey is long; it’s hot and full of dread…
Sun scorched, and parched, has become my daily bread…
Looking to heaven I lift up my head…
To Praise Pathway…then my heart begins to sing…
Straining to open my mouth, I will praise my King…
Spring up O well; sing, let the living waters bring…
Shouts of blessings while God heals the sting…
As I walk Praise Pathway it cures my grief and woes…
My steps are lighter and so is my load…
No longer burdened by the long weary trail…
I’m running now on Praise Pathway, and delivered from hell…
Out of my belly, living waters flow…my cup runneth over as onward I go…
The dry, empty wasteland, I no longer see,
Springs of living waters are rushing over me
I’m light as a feather; no I will not hush…
Praise Pathway is my way of life, it’s not just a wish, it’s a must…
I’ve become a joyful worshiper; praising the LORD…
I lift my weary heart and tie the three stranded cord…
With God the Father, Jesus the son and the Holy Spirit
I adore…
Now this desert has become nothing more,
Than a way, to walk, in obedience, today
Dry places come to the child of God…
But it doesn’t have to be walked in defeat, as we trod…
Praise Pathway leads us straight to the cure…
While treading on scorpions and lizards, over sun dunes and cacti, dried up springs and broken cisterns, when we begin to Praise we will endure…
Open your mouth and let praises ring…
Sooner than later, and your life will spring
Into wells of living water where we will tell,
Death, you cannot hold me, for I’m living in God’s well
Walking Praise Pathway in these living waters, dwell…
Child of God, walk, on Praise Pathway and see…
God is waiting there for thee…
Open your mouth with a holy shout…
The dry times of worry, anxiety, and doubt…
Will be quenched by your praise in the lonely desert place,
Then you will know, that Praise Pathway, leads to the Holy Well of Jesus that will spring up from your soul…
Spreading living waters wherever you go!!!!

When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue is parched with thirst, I the LORD will answer them; I the God of Israel will not forsake them.
I will open rivers on the bare heights, and fountains in the midst of the valleys. I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water. Isaiah 41:17-18
Therefore it is said in the Book of the Wars of the LORD, “Waheb in Suphah, and the valleys of the Arnon, and the slope of the valleys that extends to the seat of Ar, and leans to the border of Moab.”
And from there they continued to Beer; that is the well of which the LORD said to Moses, “Gather the people together, so that I may give them water.” Then Israel sang this song:
“Spring up, O well!—Sing to it!—(sing to your well)
the well that the princes made, that the nobles of the people dug, with the scepter and with their staffs.” Numbers 21:14-18 ESV (Beer means, well)
