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
