Wilderness Songtext / Lyric

The rain falls on the righteous and the wicked

Mine is not to reason why this is

In this I rest in this I find my refuge

That my thoughts and ways are not His

I spend my life on looking up the answers

It's rare that I can't find a reason why

But reasons fail at children without mothers

His plan is more than I can know






Have you ever held in doubt

What this life is all about

Have you questioned all these things that seem important to us

Do you really wanna know

Or are you a little scared

You're afraid that God is not really exactly what you'd have Him be

What should I hold to and what should I do

How do I know if anything's true

I'm somewhere in-between Canaan and Egypt

A place called the wilderness



I'm not one who always trusts their feelings

I don't believe in what you'd call blind faith

But faith that you can do all that you promised

And you said it all works for good

It's safe to say I don't see the big picture

I can't see the forest for the trees

And if five hundred lives

Were mine to get to know

You all could be spent on just this



God do you really understand what it's like to be a man

Have You ever felt the weight of loving all the things you Hate

Have You struggled have you worried

How can You sympathize



I have spoken too soon put my hand over my mouth

I can't contend with You

Your ways are so much higher

And we pass through the fire that Christ endured before us

When You were in the wilderness
