Moses In the Desert
[ENSEMBLE]
Where is the Lord? (Where is the Lord?)
Where is the Lord in this land of deserts?
And amidst this land of drought
And deep darkness
Where is the Lord
Here in this wilderness?
This land no one has crossed
And where no one trails
[MOSES]
Blow, you desert sands
Scour me and cleanse me
’Til I cannot see
’Til I can no longer stand
Blow, you desert winds
’Til even the gods can’t find me
In this godsforsaken land
And cover every footprint I leave on the faceless sand
