Well, Moses led his people out of Egypt for the promised land
But for 40 years they wandered round in the desert sand
The people grumbled at Moses and bucked at God's commands
So you're stuck here in your desert like the Israelites long ago
Your past feels like an anchor and your future's still unknown
And you're asking where is God? cause you feel like you're all alone.

CHORUS:

Get back. Get back to the promised land.
It's here. It's right here where you stand.
Just turn to Jesus, and take him by the hand.

You've been picking through the wreckage of a life gone off the rails
What to keep, what to pitch, as you ponder what it means to fail
And all the while it feels like you're stuck in the county jail.

CHORUS

In the distance there's a rainbow forming in the sky

Shining out forgiveness and love from sweet by and by
Let it knock down the wall of your heart you've built so high

BRIDGE:

Freedom. Freedom will come some day
Each step with Jesus will speed it on its way
Feel his love, his truth, his grace as you pray

CHORUS

Just turn to Jesus, and take him by the hand.
