Flowers will bloom in the desert, and enemies learn to be friends. God's world will be filled with God's being, will welcome the One that God sends. REFRAIN: Flowers will bloom in the desert, captives walk free. These promises, God, you have given, your people have nurtured this dream. The hungry will feed at the banquet, the blinded be able to see. All captives will walk out of prisons, surprised at their call to be free. (REFRAIN) The poor will know good news is spoken, their value affirmed by their God. The crippled will dance with God's praises and lilies shall burst from dead sod. (REFRAIN) These promises, God, you have given, your people have nurtured this dream. In Jesus you call us to action, you hold us in highest esteem. (REFRAIN)
