Wilderness

The rain falls on the righteous and the wicked Mine is not to reason why this is In this I rest in this I find my refuge That my thoughts and ways are not His I spend my life on looking up the answers It's rare that I can't find a reason why But reasons fail at children without mothers His plan is more than I can know Have you ever held in doubt What this life is all about Have you questioned all these things that seem important to us Do you really wanna know Or are you a little scared You're afraid that God is not really exactly what you'd have Him be What should I hold to and what should I do How do I know if anything's true I'm somewhere in-between Canaan and Egypt A place called the wilderness I'm not one who always trusts their feelings I don't believe in what you'd call blind faith But faith that you can do all that you promised And you said it all works for good It's safe to say I don't see the big picture I can't see the forest for the trees And if five hundred lives Were mine to get to know You all could be spent on just this God do you really understand what it's like to be a man Have You ever felt the weight of loving all the things you Hate Have You struggled have you worried How can You sympathize I have spoken too soon put my hand over my mouth I can't contend with You Your ways are so much higher And we pass through the fire that Christ endured before us When You were in the wilderness
