Wilderness Lyrics - The O.c. Supertones

The rain falls on the righteous and the wicked 

And 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, 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 exactly what you'd have Him be 

And 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 

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 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' 

And 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 much too soon 

Put my hand over my mouth 

I can't contend with You 

Your ways are so much higher 

We pass through the fire that Christ endured before us 

When You were in 'The Wilderness'
