The way of God is the wilderness
It has always been in the wilderness
the way of God is weakness
It is voluntary weakness

It's My ways, not your ways
What are you gonna do
What are you gonna choose
cause there is no way around it

The way of God is the wilderness
It has always been in the wilderness
the way of God is weakness
It is voluntary weakness

Men they say put on your strength
Men they say rise to the top
Men say make your way forward
But God says, listen the hungry and the thirsty they shall be filled
Gods says you gotta go lower and lower
God says I will meet you in the desert
There is no way around it
You gotta go through it

The way of God is the wilderness
It has always been in the wilderness
the way of God is weakness
It is voluntary weakness

Seems a little barren
It feels a little empty
Like a hunger pain it just wont go away
sometimes lonely and bitter sweet
this is the desert
the place where we meet
There 's no one here
its just you and me and Me and you
God You know I love you
But surely there´s got to be another way than this
but somehow as I look to history
and all Your friends
they found their way
Cause no one who waits on the Lord will ever be put to shame
but I hate waiting Lord
but its Your way and not my way
everything in me hates this place of waiting
but God it´s Your way, not my way
Oh so mysterious is the way of God
You meet me in weakness

The way of God is the wilderness
It has always been in the wilderness
the way of God is weakness
It is voluntary weakness

So I wait
and so I wait
but somehow inside me
there are all these new things I can do for You
there is so much I can build and plant
but why do you want to have me in the wilderness
But God I learn to pray, I learn to lean, I learn to trust You

The way of God is the wilderness
It has always been in the wilderness
the way of God is weakness
It is voluntary weakness

There is no other way
there is no other way
There is no way around
Blessed are the hungry
blessed are the thirsty
Blessed are those who mourn
there is no way around it
there is no other way
This is the way of God

The way of God is the wilderness
It has always been in the wilderness
the way of God is weakness
It is voluntary weakness

Its a little frustrating, just waiting
God your ways are wonderful
but God Your ways are miserable
It seems like it never ends
its sounds so romantic, it sounds so noble
But I don´t know where I got myself into
But God I trust You
Because it´s Your way
It seems like days turn into weeks
and weeks into months and months into years
and I´m still here, it seems like it never end

The way of God is the wilderness
It has always been in the wilderness
the way of God is weakness
It is voluntary weakness

Who will go to the desert?
who will go? who will go?
There's no other way
there is no way around it
All of my friends are in the desert
There is no way around it
It's God's way, it's the only way
