Or search YouTube for Isaiah 58 – Salvation like the Dawn
Bible in Song by Project of Love (6 min 59 sec)
“Is this not the fast which I choose, to loosen the bonds
of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, and to let the oppressed go free
and break every yoke? Is it not to
divide your bread with the hungry and bring the homeless poor into the house;
when you see the naked, to cover him; and not to hide yourself from your own
flesh?
“Then your light will break out like the dawn, and your
recovery will speedily spring forth; and your righteousness will go before you;
the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard.
Then you will call, and the Lord will answer; you will cry, and He will
say, ‘Her I am.’ If your remove the yoke
from your midst, the pointing of the finger and speaking wickedness,
And if you give yourself to the hungry and satisfy the
desire of the afflicted, then your light will rise in darkness and your gloom
will become like midday. And the Lord
will continually guide you, and satisfy your desire in scorched places, and
give strength to your bones; and you will be like a watered garden, and like a
spring of water whose waters do not fail.
“Those from among you will rebuild the ancient ruins; you
will raise up the age-old foundations; and you will be called the repairer of
the breach, the restorer of the streets in which to dwell.” Isaiah 58:7-12
There is a time for storing Scripture in your heart, for
prayer and fasting.
Take care with love, especially His, Darlene (who still
prays for you daily)
