The Transformation of the Whole World

Play
For 13 December 2018, Wednesday of the Second Week of Advent, based on Isaiah 41:13-20

I, the LORD your God,
hold your right hand;
it is I who say to you, “Do not fear,
I will help you.”
 
   When the poor and needy seek water,
and there is none,
and their tongue is parched with thirst,
I the LORD will answer them,
I the God of Israel will not forsake them.
I will open rivers on the bare heights,
and fountains in the midst of the valleys;
I will make the wilderness a pool of water,
and the dry land springs of water.
I will put in the wilderness the cedar,
the acacia, the myrtle, and the olive;
I will set in the desert the cypress,
the plane and the pine together,
so that all may see and know,
all may consider and understand,
that the hand of the LORD has done this,
the Holy One of Israel has created it.
