As you led your people in the wilderness (song)

As you led your people in the wilderness
Guiding daily with a cloud and flame
Lead us now through all of our uncertainty
Let us know your presence still remains.

As you fed your people in the wilderness
Every day, enough to fill their bowls
Satisfy our hunger with our daily bread
Fill us with your word which makes us whole.

As you gave your people in the wilderness
Water sweet and flowing from a stone
Give us living water that will not run dry
May we drink from gardens we have grown.

As you saved your people in the wilderness
From the army that chased them through the sea
Deliver us from those who use and harm us
From evil laws and leaders set us free.

As you taught your people in the wilderness
How to walk and follow all your ways
Write your law upon our hearts that we may live
In love for you, our life a song of praise.

Because you brought your people through the wilderness
To the land you promised, full of rest
Though we are lost and cannot see, we hope in you
You are the way. We trust that you know best.
