The spirit hovers over the chaos and the mess Giving shape and meaning To the present wilderness In the howling waste where you found us You spread your wings above us Like an eagle to her nest Bearing us on pinions A pillar of cloud led us to the water To the water Holy Vanguard Lead us through the water Into the wilderness I wish we didn't have to Live in transience That we could claim a privilege That we could get a pass Sometimes slavery seems more appealing But even the Son had to learn obedience Through what He suffered Through what He suffered A pillar of cloud led us to the water To the water Holy Vanguard Lead us through the water Into the wilderness Into the wilderness For now For now For now For now (Into the wilderness) We're walking through the water We're walking through the water We're walking on the water We're walking through the water We're walking through the water We're walking on the water
