Why go to the wilderness, seek out the God-head

Why go to the wilderness, seek out the God-head?
What is this perception, this mystical force?
The people were drawn to the bank of the Jordan,
the river winds onward, still follows its course.

No change of direction, the river flows onward,
yet people were challenged to alter their ways,
repentance meant turning, to seek new beginnings,
a change of perception, fresh hope for new days.

Verse 3 follows
