Lyrics
Wilderness
Here we go, available and all
Overwhelmed, but ready to follow
I saw what was broken, I knew I should move
Sure that my heart had something to prove
I reached for the right, but it twisted somehow
The things that I did are pointing at me now
How did a good thing become something so wrong?
How did I lose where I thought I belonged?
Oh, the wilderness
Where I hide from what I’ve done
Where the noise within me slowly
Loses everything to run on
Where the hunger leaves me open
And the empty learns to trust
Where Your word stands firm, unshaken
And the truth strips bare the lies
Here we go, I have left it behind
But somehow it still follows close in my mind
I strive for the promise, then reach for the known
Still holding to places I said I’d outgrown
The road keeps on turning, the days all look the same
I’m learning that freedom is more than a change
How long does it take for the old me to leave?
How much must be emptied before I believe?
Oh, the wilderness
Where I hide from what I’ve done
Where the noise within me slowly
Loses everything to run on
Where the hunger leaves me open
And the empty learns to trust
Where Your word stands firm, unshaken
And the truth strips bare the lies
There are footprints through the silence
Left by feet that did not turn
Where hunger whispered false promises
You answered with Your word
So I will not trust my footing
Or the strength within my hands
I will step into Your overcoming
And in Your victory I stand
Oh… the wilderness
Where I bring what I have done
Where the noise within me slowly
Loses everything to run on
Where the hunger leaves me open
And the empty learns to trust
Where Your word stands firm, unshaken
And the truth strips bare the lies
There are footprints through the sand
Listen
