In the Wilderness

In the wilderness I walk 
With outmost confidence and faith 
Cause the one for whom this quest I take 
Is always by my side
	
In the wilderness it seems 
Trails are always greater than triumphs 
But greater is he that retains our souls 
For his ways are always consecrated  

In the wilderness I know
It’s constantly stormy and dim  
But the beam from his righteous dwelling 
Shines through this shrine build in dirt   

In the wilderness it’s grim
The wicked outlines suck you in  
You can’t wiggle out if you tried
Except with his perpetual adoration
