1. Withered hearts are dry no longer,
Water pools in place of drought,
Spiritʼs rainfall comes with blessing,
Causing barren ground to sprout.
Openʼd flowers spread Christʼs aroma,
No more acrid dust of death,
Needy from the ash heap lifted,
By the whisper of His Breath.
2. Bones bleached white by sin and
judgement
Cracked and splintered by their guilt,
Stand alive in risen Body,
Healed by blood their Saviour spilt.
Fatherʼs mercy gives them increase,
So that all His glory see,
For the love of God has gathered,
Those by grace He has set free.

1. You are the Lord of all creation;
You are the King of the whole earth;
Redeeming Saviour sent from the Father
To bring forgiveness, to bring new birth.
3. Wasteland of the wasted worship,
Now replaced by gloryʼs songs,
Dust of death and sinʼs vast desert,
All to Eden now belongs!
In the midst—the sight is glorious—
Glows the gnarled and holy Tree,
Healing leaves for all the nations,
By the mercy of the Three.

For all nations laid Your glory by;
For all nations You went to the cross to die;
Bore Godʼs judgement of humanity
From sin and death to set us free.
For all nations through Your cleansing blood,
For all nations, Jesus, Youʼre the way to God.
Youʼve revealed to us the Fatherʼs love
And through You and You alone—we are His own.
2. You shed Your blood for every nation;
Your body gave for every race;
For every tribe and for every culture
You rose from death mighty to save. [refrain]
3. This is the greatest mystery
That we should be His family.
Jesus, we bless Your holy name
And weʼll proclaim that You in love . . . [refrain]
