Lyrics

Once you led me to your water
but i would not take a drink
you offered food from your table
but i could not chew the meat
you offered to hold me but I pushed your arms away
and ran to the darkness
now i wish i would have stayed

'cause here I am in this desert
my foundation is this sand
my whole life has been mirages
I've tried to hold in my hands
so take me to your promised land

for many years i've been sinking
in my foolish stubborn pride
and i've been blinded by my thinking
that everything will be alright
but here in the darkness
the scales fell from my eyes
and i can't believe it took this long to realize

that i've been living in this desert
my foundation's been this sand
my whole life has been mirages
i've tried to hold in my hands
so take me to your promised land

I'm afraid for you to know me
for all the things that I've done wrong
i'm afraid you will disown me
and i just want to be a son

so lead me out of this desert
take me from this barren land
help me see past these mirages
and give me strength so i can stand
and follow you to the promised land
Lord, take me to your promised land
