Every day that I walk with You Oh You break me down and You make me new Though my faith is tried, this I know is true There is mercy in the wilderness Through the valley deep and the mountain high You have been my strength and Your Word my guide I have known Your grace through the tears I've cried There is mercy in the wilderness In the barren place where the hard winds blow Oh my flesh cries out, "Lord refresh my soul!" Oh the Lord is kind And the Lord is good He is faithful to His children Through the fire and flood He has with me stood He gives mercy in the wilderness Oh the chastening of the Father's hand Yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness Though our hope is born in sorrow there'll be joy at last There is mercy in the wilderness So I thank You Lord for my every trial For The Father's love confirms me as His child
