You Can Avoid the Wilderness



Were you in the wilderness,
Like Hebrews long ago?
If so, then you should go confess
The sins that you now know

Convinced the Lord that what He taught
Has been ignored by you,
So that is why He says you've got
More practicing to do!

God's lessons still can all be found
In scripture if you pray
To find the verses that abound
For those who seek the Way.

The Good Book is your map to find
God's way to happiness.
He put it there with you in mind
To leave the wilderness.
