Wilderness Tab

by Michael Card


 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
