Lyrics
The lyrics are copyright so cannot be reproduced here. But they are currently available on this website. A rough outline is:Chorus:
Beyond the days of hope and myst'ry
we see a light of faith renewed,
and in our longing we thirst for guidance
to walk with you day by day.
1. Forty days and nights you guide the steps of our journey ...
2. Not on bread alone are we to walk on this journey ...
3. In your hands, O God we feel the touch of your guidance.
4. On our Lenten path we see the dawn of a new day ...
