Transformation

These days are full of turmoil and anguish

Yet resolution will come

As a storm abaits when its fury has been spent

So these days will relent when the storm has lost its strength

Rebuild the City on the ruins of what once was and restore the temple of the living God.

You are my children and I have ordained greatness for you

I shall pour rivers of blessing from the altar

Such that the banks will overflow

I will quench the parched land

The barren land will sing for joy

I have seen your need and heard you prayer.

No longer will the fox and the jackal wonder the land

But new springs of water will erupt where there were none

and river beds long since dried up will flow once more

for I shall open up the floodgates

I will create anew

I will fashion a new earth and a new heaven fit for my people

I will cause life to appear were there is death and decay

I will heal the land and restore nations and kingdoms and peoples

Amen
