White Heart - Desert Rose (lyrics)

[@fallenangelbaby9099]

My dad used to play this when I was a young girl, never quite got the gist of it. Now as an adult the meaning of it is speaking to my heart so loudly. I love this song and the meaning is so inspiring. I pray that many young kids would be able to hear this and realize that it doesn't matter what others say or do, it's your choice as to whether you want heaven or hell. It's real and-to me and my family- we can't wait for the Lord to call us home!! God Bless All who read this and hope to see you!!

[@andreapoole4778]

YES!

[@elijahsellers3727]

My dad used to play it too

[@100happythoughts]

I was a young teenager when this song came out. Jesus is always the right choice. I know because I’m your dad’s age but I once was beautiful.

[@homelessenderman1364]

You will be glad to know that I was born a while after this song came out. This song has impacted me in ways I could not even begin to express, it's meaning is so much deeper than what a lot of people in my generation can understand. I grew up a Pastor's kid, so I had a pretty good concept of what it meant the first time I heard it. It was about a year or two ago when my parents introduced me to Whiteheart, and just this past weekend, I was able to grace my mother with this song. She hadn't heard it in years, but immediately broke out in tears. In all honesty, we all feel like that Desert Rose some days, but God will always be here to hold us, and Love us unconditionally. Our sin, if we but ask in truthfulness, He shall take away. The Father will walk to the midst of the desert, and find us, pick us up, and plant us in his garden. Lord Bless you all. 🙏🏻

[@scotthartsell9356]

Amen my sister in the Lord such a great word this song speaks to me so strongly.

[@michaellewis9253]

I heard this song back in 1999 when I first came to the Lord. I left the Lord shortly afterward and just recently came back to Him in 2020. I looked up this song for the first time in over 20 years and I am so glad I found it here. It brings back good memories, and the meaning is so much more clear now that I'm a grown man. As long as you have breath, you can come back to the Lord. I am living proof.

I was raised Christian but became addicted to drugs and one day my mom was in a bad car wreck she was in a coma for a month and had 10 surgeries.. I was also sober at this time and this song which my mom has shown me it brought me to my knees and I hit the ground and cried out to Jesus on my bedroom floor to please save my mom. This was a huge moment in re instilling my faith. Even after i struggled with addiction for more years and finally got sober about a week ago giving my life back to Christ I connected with this song once again but this time I understand the true meaning. I’m closer with God now than I have ever been. Glory to God.

The first time I heard this I was living in a homeless shelter, and I heard it on iHeart Radio app for my phone while I was walking down the street in the neighborhood near the homeless shelter. I was in one of the worst times of my life during that time and this song made me feel like God saw everything I was going through and it touched my heart so much and I cried quite a bit.

The Lord had me listen to this song many years ago when I was going through such a rough time in my marriage. He let me know through this song that I was His desert Rose, growing in the wilderness...and He saw me and that I wasn't alone. He still calls me His Rose.

[@christophergale5638]

I grew up in a troubled family had a very rough childhood this song reminded me that I was not alone, and that I had a friend up above to this day my faith is still growing stronger through all the trials I have faced the lord is always there and will always be there to hold our hand when we need it

[@therepentist8432]

Just came out of a really dark place, I was listening to extreme metal music, and I had to learn the hard way. I had to hit rock bottom before I could look up and realize that the Lord was there the whole time. All I needed to do was acknowledge that He was and is Lord and that I am not. My prayers go out to anyone struggling with addiction to this kind of music. Remember it is Christ who cares for you and not the artists that claim to have been through rough times. So reach out to God, and remember He is only one step away from you finding peace. Listen to the Holy Spirit and He shall guide you in what to listen to. Love this video by the way, great song. Christ is Lord!

Thank you for the work put into the visuals and uploading. I heard this song as a teenager-shortly after I came to Christ, and shortly after I moved to the Midwest from the high desert where I was born. I had already fallen in love with Jesus, but this song made me feel He was in love with me too. 30 years later, the Lord has recently brought it to mind with a reminder He’s still in love with me; He is mine and I am forever His.

[@foreversaved33years12]

This song touched my heart and soul in 1992 as I was preparing to go on a 7 year long term assignment for my company to Saudi Arabia. One evening when I was walking during a break from a night class I was taking at Khobar Towers, I came across a snack bar with a sign above the door which read "Desert Rose" - I felt right at home!

[@MissSisterPlatypus]

I've never cried as much as I did through the years of listening to this song..... I have listened to it in so long that I burst once again into tears!

I heard this for the first time in late 1995. I was part of a team doing a short term mission in a town on the coast. The musicians and singers in our group performed Desert Rose every night.

Lost in a windswept land In a world of shifting sand A fragile flower stands apart And there in that barren ground You feel like the only one Trying to serve Him with all your heart And you wonder, wonder Can you last much longer This cloud you are under Will it cover you Desert rose, desert rose Don't you worry, don't be lonely Heaven knows, Heaven knows In a dry and weary land A flower grows His desert rose His desert rose Sometimes holiness Can seem like emptiness When you feel the whole world's laughing eyes But if it's a lonely day Know you're on the Father's way He will hear you when you cry And He will hold you, hold you Your Father will hold you He will love you, love you For the things you do Desert rose, desert rose Don't you worry, don't be lonely Heaven knows, Heaven knows In a dry and weary land A flower grows His desert rose His desert rose

MY WIFE'S RESPONSE: I think Rachel Joy Scott, the young woman who was martyred at Columbine High School in Littleton, CO, may have been touched by this song. She often doodled roses. The last one she drew, a prophetic drawing, was coupled with two eyes looking down from the sky with 13 teardrops (13 victims), when the teardrops reached the rose they turned red. When I saw this video's pictures, I thought how ironic that the leaves falling from this rose are "tear" shaped. Every time I hear this song, it will remind me of her commitment to Jesus Christ and that I am not the only Desert Rose out there. Such a beautiful song! Who would ever think it would take on meaning with a 17 year old who was later martyred? Just another example of how God uses people who may never have met to comfort, encourage and edify someone.

I have no Christian friends as I am old now. I just go to church twice on Sundays and once on Wednesdays.. Repent and pray daily.. I suck at reading my Bible daily .. someone pls pray for me??

Desert Rose (Tradução) Perdido em uma terra varrida pelo vento Em um mundo de pegadas na areia Uma flor frágil estava separada Lá, naquele chão estéril Você sente como se fosse o único Tentando servir a Ele de todo seu coração. E você deseja saber, deseja saber Pode você suportar por mais tempo? Esta nuvem debaixo da qual você está Irá cobrir você. Rosa do Deserto (rosa do deserto) Não se preocupe, não esteja só Os céus sabem, os céus sabem Em uma terra seca e cansada cresce uma flor Sua rosa do deserto Às vezes a santidade Pode parecer uma ostentação Quando você sente o olhar risonho de todo mundo Mas se é um dia desolado Saiba você está no caminho do Pai Ele o ouvirá quando você chorar. E Ele o sustentará, sustentará você Seu Pai o sustentará Ele o amará, amará você Pelas coisas que você faz. Rosa do Deserto (rosa do deserto) Não se preocupe, não esteja só Os céus sabem, os céus sabem Em uma terra seca e cansada cresce uma flor Sua rosa do deserto
