With daring we enter the future that beckons

With daring we enter the future that beckons,
our feelings in tension - excitement and fear.
Wherever we're walking we know God walks with us,
before and behind, God's protection is near.

*Alone in the desert God's people felt empty,
the land that was promised of honey and milk
seemed distant, reality made hope distorted,
clothed them with despairing, more sackcloth than silk.

Verses 3-4 follow (*Verse 2 can be omitted)

Tune: HELSINGTON or WAS LEBET WAS SCHWEBET
