Whining in the wilderness What's going on there? Absolutely nothing it seems Yet you continue to scream Groan and moan incessantly Complain bitterly and tirelessly Treading through the wilderness Trekking through rugged terrain Meanwhile God's Word you disdain The point breakthrough and victory To get you through, propel you forth To redirect, rearrange you life course Alter, enhance, improve for the better Break every chain, bondage, and fetter Listen carefully to me with your heart Hear the word of life and don't depart Although you think yourself to be smart Some cycles of defeat can only be reversed As you love and honor God, who others cursed Let not your heart be bitter or angrily divorced From the loving Lord of life who silences strife Who quiets and stills the wayward, restless soul Breathes fresh like to make us inwardly whole Restoring to us what the foul devil has stole Renewing us within to mightily arise and win To take back the precious promises of God To boldly enter the promised land and trod Over every enemy that would seek to slay Over every skeptic who doubts and says nay Over every giant that defiantly stands in our way Over every fearful thought that would dismay Over every circumstances that does overwhelm As we relinquish control and invite Jesus to the helm To navigate, lead, guide, and direct by His Spirit To open our hearts, so His voice we can hear it His blessings we will embrace and not be hesitant As we remain thankful, we shall be triumphant.
