I could pray for deliverance
I could beg You for greener pastures
I could question why I’m still here
Shake my fist and demand an answer
(But) Right here right now
Is where I start to know You better
So right here I’ll stay
(‘Cause) Even in the wilderness
I know I’m not alone
Even in the desert place
Your river overflows
Even in the wasteland
Through the darkest valley there is hope
‘Cause even in the wilderness
You won’t let go
I could settle for what I want
I could ask for the easy way out
But You’ve proven You’re still good
In the midst of the valley of doubt
You will lead me You will keep me
You will never let me go
Even in the wilderness
I know I’m not alone
Even in the desert place
Your river overflows
Even in the wasteland
Through the darkest valley there is hope
‘Cause even in the wilderness
Even in the wilderness
You won’t let go
You won’t let go
