[Chorus]
         G    G/F#
In the wilderness

         C    G
In the wilderness

     C                   G
He calls his sons and daughters

         Am7   G/F#
To the wilderness

              G          Am11
but he gives grace sufficient

     G/B        C
to survive any test

     C                 G              G/F#  G      
And that's the painful purpose of the wilderness
[Verse 1]
        G            G/F#
In the wilderness we wander

        C            G
In the wilderness we weep

        C               G
In the wasteland of our wanting

          Am7                 F#m7#5
Where the darkness seems so deep

     G               G/F#           C         G
We search for the beginning, for an exodus to hold

     Am7               G                Am7          D7
We find that those who follow him, must often walk alone
[Chorus]
         G    G/F#
In the wilderness

         C    G
In the wilderness

     C                   G
He calls his sons and daughters

         Am7   G/F#
To the wilderness

              G          Am11
But he gives grace sufficient

     G/B        C
to survive any test

     C                 G              G/F#  G      
And that's the painful purpose of the wilderness
[Verse 2]
        G               G/F#
In the wilderness we're wandering

      C            G
for a way to understand

        C                 G 
In the wilderness there's not a way

        Am7            F#m7#5
for the way's become a man

        G                G/F#         C          G
and the man's become the exodus, the way to holy ground

        Am7             G              Am7              D7
But wandering in the wilderness is the best way to be found
[Chorus]
         G    G/F#
In the wilderness

         C    G
In the wilderness

     C                   G
He calls his sons and daughters

         Am7   G/F#
To the wilderness

              G          Am11
But he gives grace sufficient

     G/B        C
to survive any test

     C                 G              G/F#  G      
And that's the painful purpose of the wilderness
[Bridge]
  C          G       Am7               G
Groaning and growing amidst the desert days

    C            G              Am7             F#m7#5
the windy winter wilderness can blow the self away
[Chorus]
         G    G/F#
In the wilderness

         C    G
In the wilderness

     C                   G
He calls his sons and daughters

         Am7   G/F#
To the wilderness

              G          Am11
But he gives grace sufficient

     G/B        C
to survive any test

     C                 G              G/F#  G      
And that's the painful purpose of the wilderness

      C                  G             F#m7#5  G
And that's the painful promise of the wilderness
