Chorus

 In the wilderness

 In the wilderness

 He calls his sons and daughters

 To the wilderness

 And he gives grace sufficient

 to survive any test

 And that's the painfull purpose of the wilderness

 In the wilderness we wander

 In the wilderness we weep

 The wasteland of our wanting

 Where the darkness seems so deep

 We search for the beginning, for an exodus to hold

 We find that those who follow him, must often walk alone

Chorus

 In the wilderness we're wandering

 for a way to understand

 In the wilderness there's not a way

 for the way to become a man

 and become the exodus, the way to holy ground

 But wandering in the wilderness is the best way to be found

Chorus

 Groaning and growing amidst the desert days

 the windy winter wilderness can blow the self away

Chorus

 And that's the painfull promise of the wilderness
