Chorus:
C G
In the wilderness
F C
In the wilderness
F C
He calls his sons and daughters
Am G
To the wilderness
C G
And he gives grace sufficient
C Am
to survive any test
F C G C
And that's the painfull purpose of the wilderness
C G
In the wilderness we wander
F C
In the wilderness we weep
F C
The wasteland of our wanting
Am G
Where the darkness seems so deep
C G Am G
We search for the beginning, for an exodus to hold
F C G C
We find that those who follow him, must often walk alone
Chorus
C G
In the wilderness we're wandering
F C
for a way to understand
F C
In the wilderness there's not a way
Am G
for the way to become a man
C G Am G
and become the exodus, the way to holy ground
F C Am G C
But wandering in the wilderness is the best way to be found
Chorus
C G F C
Groaning and growing amidst the desert days
F C Am G C
the windy winter wilderness can blow the self away
Chorus
F Am G C
And that's the painfull promise of the wilderness
