VERSE 1
Tested and tried for forty days
Enticed to fashion bread from stone
With power to call on Heaven’s host
You faced the wilderness alone
VERSE 2
You walked upon the desert sand
You climbed the mountain’s highest dome
Forsaking every glory due
You faced the wilderness alone
CHORUS 1
Near, the Father’s near
Ready with angels waiting to attend
Love, it’s always Love
Love that leads us home in the end
Love that leads us home in the end
VERSE 3
So when I’m weary from the fight
And when no compass leads me home
Somehow it helps to know that I’m
Not in this wilderness alone
CHORUS 2
Near, the Father’s near
Ready with angels waiting to attend
Love it’s always Love
Love that leads me home in the end
Love that leads me home in the end
BRIDGE
Lift me up
Breathe Your life into mine
In Your throne room
Where royalty dines
Kings and queens
Coronated through trials
Like a million butterflies
Make these dry bones rise
