Surrounded by wilderness
God’s people seek hope’s waters
Responding with His goodness
Thirst quenched in sons and daughters
Shepherd’s eternal presence
His flock never left alone
Lifting eyes toward heavens
Trust in God, faith’s fabric sewn
Sinful stones must be softened
Hunger lingers tomorrow
Calling all to repentance
Mercy’s waters always flow
God ignites fire of judgment
Faith’s journey seeks lighted way
Praying for obedience
Wayward steps find grace this day
Wilderness tests man’s resolve
Enemy’s darkest shadows
Following Christ, our Savior
Destination of peace glows
