Watch the Lyric Video:
“Oasis” speaks to the inner souls of all who have truly struggled in life while praying for an answer…that answer is Jesus. It is a song that has been 15 years in the making. Much of it was first conceived by Angela when she was an atheistic software engineer in the Silicon Valley. Unable to find the words to finish it, she shelved it for later. Now, in 2019, following a miracle healing after a devastating brain injury, the Holy Spirit has completed the lyrics through her.
Song Lyrics
Sometimes I feel like giving up and giving in
To the demons that scream from within
Telling me it won’t be okay
And what’s the point of trying anyway;
But I keep on marching; I keep on searching
And sifting through the sand
To find the reason that slips through my hand.
And I am tired; and I am hungry;
And I am thirsty; and I am lonely.
But Jesus, you are my Oasis,
‘Cause I can barely take this.
You are my desire
‘Cause it’s your love that fuels my fire.
You are my Oasis
‘Cause I can barely take this.
You are my desire
‘Cause it’s your love that fuels my fire.
Search for meaning in my soul,
Find your Word at the root of it all…
Speaking faith, speaking hope, speaking love.
There is a purpose; there is a plan
If you just reach out and hold His Hand.
Don’t dwell in the dark that leads you far from Him.
But Jesus, you are my Oasis,
‘Cause I can barely take this.
You are my desire
‘Cause it’s your love that fuels my fire.
You are my Oasis
‘Cause I can barely take this.
You are my desire
‘Cause it’s your love that fuels my fire.
You drew me into the waters, into your Ocean of Mercy.
You washed me in the Blood, cleansed me of my self-hatred.
You drew me into the waters, into your Ocean of Mercy.
You washed me in the Blood, cleansed me of my self-hatred.
And now I’m free!
Yes, I’m free!
Jesus, you are my Oasis,
‘Cause I could barely take this.
You are my desire
‘Cause it’s your love that fuels my fire.
You are my Oasis
‘Cause I could barely take this.
You are my desire
‘Cause it’s your love that fuels my fire.
