Praise in the Wilderness

Seems like yesterday I saw the Red Sea part
All my enemies drown at the Red Sea's heart
Funny how soon I've found myself in the wilderness
Even out here in the desert place the blessings flow
I have found all I've needed on the desert floor
Here I stand with so much less than I've had before
But out here in the wilderness
There's more than you know

You can't feel this by word of my mouth
Come and taste it and see for yourself
You've got to believe
There seems to be more
I know that this appears upside down
That the wilderness is where hope abounds
You've got to believe
Come be restored

Mile after mile, I am lost in the sun and sand
But I've learned I don't need to know where I am
Just to know where I'm going, that is enough for me
Every step brings me closer than where I've been
Every test makes me stronger than how I'd lived
With past regrets and emptiness, oh, I don't know how it is
That deep inside this wilderness
I'm not alone

You can't feel this by word of my mouth
Come and taste it and see for yourself
You've got to believe
There seems to be more
I know that this appears upside down
That the wilderness is where hope abounds
You've got to believe
Come be restored

Must admit there are times I don't understand
And I feel like this journey will never end
But I've always had the strength it takes to keep walking through
So I'll shout forth my blessings on desert sand
Even more from the top of Mount Gerizim
As I descend to the Jordan, and I leave this wilderness
I must recount the faithfulness
That carried me home

You can't feel this by word of my mouth
Come and taste it and see for yourself
You've got to believe
There seems to be more
I know that this appears upside down
That the wilderness is where hope abounds
You've got to believe
Come be restored
Oh, restored
