Holy Vanguard

The spirit hovers over the chaos and the mess
Giving shape and meaning
To the present wilderness
In the howling waste where you found us
You spread your wings above us
Like an eagle to her nest
Bearing us on pinions

A pillar of cloud led us to the water
To the water
Holy Vanguard
Lead us through the water
Into the wilderness

I wish we didn’t have to
Live in transience
That we could claim a privilege
That we could get a pass
Sometimes slavery seems more appealing
But even the Son had to learn obedience
Through what He suffered
Through what He suffered

A pillar of cloud led us to the water
To the water
Holy Vanguard
Lead us through the water
Into the wilderness

Into the wilderness

For now (4x)
(Into the wilderness)

We’re walking through the water
We're walking through the water
We're walking on the water
(2x)
