Text:When You Come Out the Wilderness
Tune:[Tell me how did you feel]
Arranger:Phil. V. S. Lindsley

51. When You Come Out the Wilderness

1 Tell me how did you feel
When you come out the wilderness,
Come out the wilderness,
Come out the wilderness;
Tell me how did you feel
When you come out the wilderness
Leaning on the Lord?

Chorus:
I'm leaning on the Lord,
I'm leaning on the Lord,
I'm leaning on the Lord,
Who died on Calvary.

2 Didn't your soul feel happy
When you come out the wilderness,
Come out the wilderness,
Come out the wilderness;
Didn't your soul feel happy
When you come out the wilderness
Leaning on the Lord? [Chorus]

3 Didn't you feel like shouting
When you come out the wilderness,
Come out the wilderness,
Come out the wilderness;
Didn't you feel like shouting
When you come out the wilderness
Leaning on the Lord?

4 Didn't you love ev'rybody
When you come out the wilderness,
Come out the wilderness,
Come out the wilderness;
Didn't you love ev'rybody
When you come out the wilderness
Leaning on the Lord?

5 Did't you bow mighty low
When you come out the wilderness,
Come out the wilderness,
Come out the wilderness;
Didn't you bow mighty low
When you come out the wilderness
Leaning on the Lord?
