Text:Come Out the Wilderness
Tune:[Tell me, how did you feel when you came out the wilderness]

465. 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.
How did you feel when you come out the wilderness.
Leaning on the Lord.

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

2 Well, I loved ev'rybody when I come out the wilderness,
come out the wilderness, come out the wilderness.
Loved ev'rybody when I come out the wilderness.
Leaning on the Lord. [Refrain]

3 Well, my soul was so happy when I come out the wilderness,
come out the wilderness, come out the wilderness.
Soul was so happy when I come out the wilderness.
Leaning on the Lord. [Refrain]
