A King will reign in righteousness
And justice will be the norm,
Refreshing, like an oasis
And a haven from raging storms
Then darkened eyes will see
And attentive ears will hear;
The reckless heart shall understand,
Faltering tongues made fluent and clear
When God's Spirit descends on the desert
And a field, like a forest, grows,
Then from the Lord's righteousness,
Peace and assurance will flow

Isaiah 32:1-4;15-17
The parched land will be glad
The wilderness will bloom
Like the crocus, they will greatly rejoice
As they burst into blossom and bloom;
Withering arid places
Will know glory and splendor
They will see the Lord's
Own glory and splendor
Strengthen the week and unsteady,
Encourage those who fear
For God will come to save you,
Cause blind to see and deaf to hear
The lame will leap and dance
The mute will joyously shout
Water will gush in the desert
Vibrant greenery will be all about
And a highway will be there:
The Way of Holiness
The unclean will not travel it
Nor those bent on wickedness
No danger will be found there
All sorrow and sighing will flee
There will be overwhelming joy
For God's rescued and redeemed
---
Isaiah 35
