The Isaiah Song

All Nations Worship Assembly with Chandler Moore and Benita Jones perform “The Isaiah Song,” which puts the voice of God from the book of Isaiah into the first person. It begins, “This is the word of the Lord your creator. I am the God who stood before the world was framed, I am the first, the last and everything between, I hold your future.” The song then says, “Don't fear, I will be your song.”

The next section speaks to the empty and thirsty: “Oh barren land, water is coming to the thirsty. Though you are empty, I am the well, draw from Me, I will provide.” The second verse names God as “the ancient of days,” “the holy one, the fairest of ten thousand,” and says that all who call on his name will be saved. The bridge adds more images of provision, “I'm the river in the desert, pouring My Spirit on the broken, giving beauty for your ashes, joy for your sadness.” The song ends with the people answering, “You're making ways in the wilderness, You're making rivers in the desert,” in a spirited call-and-response.

A way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert are in Isaiah 43:19. Water poured on the thirsty land is Isaiah 44:3, and beauty for ashes is Isaiah 61:3.
