From Mount Hor they set out by the way to the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom; but the people became impatient on the way. The people spoke against God and against Moses, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and we detest this miserable food.”
When we can only see what is before us
Lord, lift our eyes to see beyond
When we can only see what is around us
Lord, lift our eyes to see beyond
When we can only see all that we have lost
Lord, lift our eyes to see beyond
When we can only see change and upheaval
Lord, lift our eyes to see beyond
Show us, O Lord, how far we have come
Remind us of how you have stayed with us all the way
Reassure us that still you walk beside us
Restore our faith in all the new things you reveal
and the new paths in which you lead us
And though we may not recognise
the places we now inhabit
May we trust in your goodness
which is for every generation
Lord, lift our eyes to see beyond.
