About this listen

Scripture

Isaiah 61:3 (NRSV)

...to provide for those who mourn in Zion—

to give them a garland instead of ashes,

the oil of gladness instead of mourning,

the mantle of praise instead of a faint spirit.

They will be called oaks of righteousness,

the planting of the Lord, to display his glory.


Refrain

Grace grows where the soul has been scorched.


Quote

Henri Nouwen

“Hope means to keep living amid desperation

and to keep humming in the darkness.

Hope is knowing that there is love,

it is trust in tomorrow,

it is falling asleep and waking again

when the sun rises.

In the midst of a broken world,

hope is the gift of grace—

the quiet knowing that ashes are not the end.”
