Thirstless Times - Isaiah Series (5)

orchidee



Tune: St Peter

('How sweet the name of Jesus sounds')

Isaiah 41 v.17-20

********

When the poor, needy seek water

I will help them for sure

Where there no water, they thirsty

I a spring to them be

 

For I, the LORD, I will them hear

Will forsake not, be near

Them, and will open rivers there

And in founts they shall share

 

Yes, mountain streams and valley brooks

And change wilderness looks

For it shall be a water pool

And dry land have springs full

 

I will plant trees in wilderness

For I their land will bless

That they may see, consider, know

Understand I do so

 

It is the LORD's doing, these things

He His provision brings

He the Holy One, Creator

Praise Him, give Him honour

        Not quite sure what to make of this one Orchidee ..

        I found it a little difficult to swallow .. no pun intended .. am wondering if you wrote this with an old biblical dialect in mind ...

          Thanks Neville. I think the 'land' here is symolic of the people of Israel (as 'God's people'). A sort of pictorial prophecy of there not being any spiritual thirst or lack. It could apply physically/literally too, I suppose, if ya have seen any wildernesses planted with trees?
