The lifeless places, the dry places
Shall become full of life,
Bursting with gladness
Abundance.
Overflowing.
Like a crocus blooming in the spring
after a very long, cold winter,
singing its way with joy into life.
Glory and majesty shall be obvious,
And they shall see the glory of the Lord,
the majesty of our God.
Weakness shall be transformed to strength
Feebleness will become firm.
Those who are afraid will find courage.
Here is your God.
God is coming with passion and loyalty.
God is coming to bring life.
God is coming to save you.
Blindness will be replaced with wonderful colors
Deafness will be replaced with song.
Those who cannot walk will dance
and the speechless will preach.
The desert will overflow with waterfalls
And the wilderness will have a view of the ocean.
Hot sand will become a pool of clean, clear water,
and the thirsty will drink.
The land of jackals will be unrecognizable,
And weeds will be changed to food.
The dangerous highway will become Holy,
a safe place to travel,
where all of God’s children will find a home,
and none shall be lost.
The predator shall not be found there,
And all of the Lord’s people will return,
singing, dancing,
Joy personified.
Heaven on earth.
Everlasting joy.
Sorrow and sighing will be gone,
And gladness will be forever.
