lyrics

I wandered through the desert
patterned the sand with my footprints
I wandered through the wilderness
and never once left your hand

The sea, she stood before me
unperturbed
when she rose up, made way
she waited only for your word
for your word

When the waters saw you, they were afraid
The desert folded in on itself
it's paths crossed and crossed and crossed
and crossed and I wore
myself out with doubt
Oh, I trembled with fear when you said,
"You are mine, don't be afraid"

The city stood before me
but it could not stand before you, O my Lord
You cried aloud and the walls came tumbling down
You broke into it not with war but with sound

What bread is better than your body?
What water from any rock satisfies like your Word?
What voice in the wilderness could surpass the one I heard?
What blood could cleanse like that of the Lamb?
