Wilderness Call





I will lay it down, lay it down at Your feet
Every burden that has vexed,
Every problem that's perplexed.
Desperate for mercy and peace
Longing for the deliverer's release...

I will raise it up raise high and tall
Make an altar in this wilderness
An ebenezer to confess
So seal our hearts once and for all
As we heed your wilderness call.

Chorus:
One day we will take our rest
Having survived the trials and tests
Jesus will remain our all in all
Entering eternal blessedness
But now we wander in the wilderness
As we heed your wilderness call.
Your wilderness call goes out to all
To become God's daughters and sons
In the wilderness wild we can be reconciled
When our power and pride are undone.

Till our journey here is at its end
We sojourn here within the wild
The redeemed and righteous reconciled;
Our great need still is to depend
Upon the provision God will send.

So in His pathways we abide
And each day we partake of grace
Enough for the trouble that we face
Content in Yahweh to confide
And so we shall be satisfied

Chorus:
One day we will take our rest
Having survived the trials and tests
Jesus will remain our all in all
Entering eternal blessedness
But now we wander in the wilderness
As we heed your wilderness call.
Your wilderness call goes out to all
To become Gods daughters and sons
In the wilderness wild we can be reconciled
When our power and pride are undone.
