We Wander in the Wilderness

Proposed Antiphon: Creation starts with chaos

We wander in the wilderness
And all our stars are out of place


We hide in holes and in ditches
And the wind passes over where we lie
We have little
And what we have is taken from us

Once our counsel was sought after
But now we are counted as fools and idiots
Once we spoke and others leapt to obey
Now we speak and only the beasts answer
Friends are struck down
And family members suffer and die

We persist in our prayers
And call out to our God
Where is the path of truth?
Where is the way that leads through this desert?


We wander in the wilderness
And all our stars are out of place
