I've Been In The Wilderness More Times Than Jesus

I’ve been in the wilderness more times than Jesus
More times than I ever planned or wanted to be
And when I visit, I never know what’s waiting for me.
Always there’s been a horizon and I’ve aimed
To where I think the exit is

- but nothing’s ever there.

I’ve been in the wilderness more times than Jesus
And when that door opens, it happens when you least expect it,
In the dead of night, when the last of the hope is almost spent.

I’ve been in the wilderness more times than Jesus
And let me tell you friend, nothing’s guaranteed.
Perhaps this time, the salvation won’t come and all this
Will continue to the ends of the Earth.

I’ve been to the wilderness more times than Jesus
You’d think I would have learned by now.
