Dust as far as I can see
It might be the death of me
But I've come way too far to look back now
Never been the kind to quit
But this might be what does me in
If You can hear me crying send help now
Like a fire when the night caves in
Keep me burning when the light goes dim
Be the steady hand holding me up
When I got nothing left
When I don't know where to go
Stuck at another dead end oh You
You're my way through the wilderness
Call me crazy, call it faith
But I swear I heard You call my name
I don't know why You did, but here I am
Open hands and an open heart
But lately I feel torn apart
Oh God won't You meet me where I am
Like a fire when the night caves in
Keep me burning when the light goes dim
Be the steady hand holding me up
When I got nothing left
When I don't know where to go
Stuck at another dead end oh You
You're my way through the wilderness
May I keep my eyes upon You
May I never look away
Should I ever start to wander
Should I ever start to stray
Be my vision be my Shepherd
Be my Savior and my guide
'Cause You're everything that I need to survive
Like a fire when the night caves in
Keep me burning when the light goes dim
Be the steady hand holding me up
When I got nothing left
When I don't know where to go
Stuck at another dead end oh You
You're my way through the wilderness
Oh
You're my way through the wilderness
