Lyrics

Before I met You
My life was standing still
I had a one way ticket to nowhere
My heart was filled with fear
And it was very clear
That I was going down for the third time
You caused a rose to bloom
In the desert sand
Now all I wanna do
Is what You command me to
I wanna love You
With all my heart and soul
You made me a brand new woman
You made me whole
You brought an oasis
Right in the middle of a desert
You brought an oasis, my God
Right in the middle of a desert
Oasis, oasis
Right in the middle of a desert
Oasis, oasis
All the memories
Of my foolish past
You erased so completely
You lifted up my head
You made my heart feel glad
When You told me You loved me so sweetly
You caused a rose to bloom
In the desert sand
Now all I wanna do
Is what You command me to
I wanna love You
With all my heart and soul
You made me a brand new woman
You gave me hope
You brought an oasis
Yes, You did
Right in the middle of a desert
You brought an oasis
Yes, You did
Right in the middle of a desert
Oasis, oasis
Right in the middle of a desert
Oasis, oasis
You came in and showed me
Burdens light, my yoke is easy
Never knew life could be so wonderful
On my barrenness You rained Your love
You brought an oasis
Right in the middle of a desert
Oasis, oasis
Right in the middle of a desert
Oasis, oasis
Right in the middle of a desert
Oasis, oasis
I was going down for the third time
And then You came, Lord Jesus
Right on time
And You brought an oasis
Underneath Your love
You brought it right in the middle of a desert
I was going down for the third time
And then You came, Lord Jesus
Right on time
And You brought an oasis
