Jeremiah 31: 11-14 (NIV)

11 

For the Lord will deliver Jacob
    and redeem them from the hand of those stronger than they.

12 

They will come and shout for joy on the heights of Zion;
    they will rejoice in the bounty of the Lord –
the grain, the new wine and the olive oil,
    the young of the flocks and herds.
They will be like a well-watered garden,
    and they will sorrow no more.

13 

Then young women will dance and be glad,
    young men and old as well.
I will turn their mourning into gladness;
    I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow.

14 

I will satisfy the priests with abundance,
    and my people will be filled with my bounty,’
declares the Lord.

From a desert to a well watered garden,

From mourning to dancing

From sorrow to comfort and joy…

From death to life.

 

Says the Lord

I will

I will gather

I will gather you

I will gather you up

 

I

Says the Lord

I will

I will bring

I will bring you

I will bring you back

 

Says the Lord

I will

I will redeem

I will redeem and 

I will redeem and restore 

I will redeem and restore you

 

Says the Lord

I will fill

I will fill your

I will fill your barns

I will fill your barns with …

Grain, with new wine, with oil…

 

Says the Lord

I will 

I will turn

I will turn your…

Tears to dancing,

Sorrow to joy

 

What was once a desert will be a well watered garden.

What was once barren and empty will be overflowing with abundance.

 

Prayer:

 

Promise Keeper,

Such hope!

Thank you for those words of promise…

Words which sustain me in the most barren times of life,

Words which remind me that you love me,

That you hear my cries,

And words which give me hope and a future,

Thank you, Lord,  

For those promises…

For that comfort…

For that abundance.

Amen
