The Dream Isaiah Saw

Lions and oxen will sleep in the hay
Leopards will join with the lambs as they play
Wolves will be pastured with cows in the glade
Blood will not darken the earth that God made

Little child whose bed is straw
Take new lodgings in my heart
Bring the dream Isaiah saw
Life redeemed from fang and claw

Peace will pervade more than forest and field
God will transfigure the Violence concealed
Deep in the heart and in systems of gain
Ripe for the judgement the Lord will ordain

Little child whose bed is straw
Take new lodgings in my heart
Bring the dream Isaiah saw
Justice purifying law

Nature reordered to match God's intent
Nations obeying the call to repent
All of creation completely restored
Filled with the knowledge and love of the Lord

Little child whose bed is straw
Take new lodgings in my heart
Bring the dream Isaiah saw
Knowledge, wisdom, worship, awe

Little child whose bed is straw
Take new lodgings in my heart
Bring the dream Isaiah saw
Knowledge, wisdom, worship, awe
