A wanderer in the wilderness (Matt 4, Luke 4)
A wanderer in the wilderness did Jesus walk alone,
A journey of enlightenment, of facing the unknown.
Surrounded by temptation, He refused to hear its call,
To depart from His path, the path of righteousness for all.
We may wander in a wilderness, with little hope in sight,
But we do not face our trails alone, for Jesus brings the light.
His footsteps come beside us when we walk alone in despair,
So gently and quietly that you may not feel that He is there.
He asks that you rest awhile, to give some time to Him today,
To share a thought, to say a prayer and let Him guide your way,
To trust in Him to lead you, to let Him hold you by the hand,
Then from the wilderness, He will guide you to the promise land.
