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.
