The desert and the dry land,
Will be so joyously glad;
The wilderness will be grand,
Blossoming to be clad.
Like a lily on the land,
Will be flowering in spring;
Jubilant where it will stand,
As it gleefully will sing.
It will have all the glory,
As it shows its majesty;
Singing out of the story,
With a humbled modesty.
Strengthen the limp in your hands,
Firm up and steady weak knees;
With doing as God commands,
Showing favor that will please.
The those who are terrified,
Be brave and be not afraid;
Each one will be rectified,
God will be rendering aid.
God will come with His vengeance,
He comes with divine revenge;
On those who with indulgence,
His wrath willing to avenge.
He opens eyes of the blind,
Clearing the ears of the deaf;
Showing how gentle and kind,
For having life after death.
Then those who are lame will leap,
Those who were dumb will now speak;
Insomniacs could then sleep,
The Lord each of us will seek.
Cool water will be gushing out,
Cooling down all dry hot sand;
Finally ending the drought,
Making it a fertile land.
