Out in the Desert

The people, feeling alone
despair out in the desert
so, so far from home

Wondering where they would turn to
how they could survive in that place
the Lord, providing manna and quail
such was his saving grace

So the prayer that the Lord taught us all
the one we share in the congregation
our daily bread, all of our needs
met by our savior, our king

Stopping to pray,
to believe once again,
as the people did then,
trusting alone in the Lord
