VERSE I

Just when we thought we saw the way out

We lost our way again

Hope hides away as faith turns to doubt

Now where do we begin?

 

CHORUS I

When we're lost in the wilderness

With no place to call home

When we're lost in the wilderness

Nowhere to call our own

 

VERSE II

Every path we take seems just the same

And no guide can be found

So all our efforts seem all in vain

Lord, where's Your holy ground?

 

CHORUS II

When we're lost in the wilderness

Where hope seems so far away

Where faith all but fades

 

BRIDGE

Walking in circles in wild places

Where trusting is the hardest thing to do

But in spite of ourselves, Lord, give us the grace, Lord

To believe in You when it's impossible to do

 

VERSE III

Someday in the wilderness

We'll hear a sweet familar sound

And we’ll suddenly discover

We’re walking on holy ground

 

CHORUS III

When we're lost in the wilderness

With no place to call our own

When we're lost in the wilderness

With nowhere to call home
