Isaiah 44
Ted Pearce Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hear Me now, O Jacob My servant
Israel whom I have chosen

Thus says The Lord who made you and formed you from the womb

I'll pour My Spirit out upon your sons


And I shall pour out living waters on thirsty land
And turn the desert into rivers

They shall spring up like grass amid the waters
Like the willow tree by flowing streams


Thus says the Lord, the king of Israel
And His Redeemer, the Lord of Hosts

I am the first and I am the last
Beside Me there is no other god


Who is like Me
Let him proclaim it

Let him declare and set it forth before Me

Who has announced from old the things to come

Let them tell us what is yet to be



Fear not, nor be afraid
Have I not told you since days of long ago
You are My witnesses; is there a god besides Me

There is no Rock, I know not of one


Sing O heavens, for the Lord has done it
Shout aloud, O depths of the earth

Break forth in singing O mountains and forests
The Lord will be glorified in Israel



O Israel, you are not forgotten by Me
I've swept away your transgressions like a cloud

Your sins have disappeared like the morning mist

Return to Me, I have redeemed you
, oh





Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel
And His Redeemer, Yeshuat Adonai

Overall Meaning

In Ted Pearce's song Isaiah 44, the lyrics express the promise that God has for the nation of Israel. It begins with an address to Jacob, whom god chose and continues by reinforcing this decision. The prophet Isaiah speaks for God, and he reveals that he will pour his spirit upon the sons of Israel. The message says that God will provide living waters that will turn the desert into the rivers. These waters will bring forth fresh greenery and willow tree-like growth amongst the waters. It is a metaphor for God's spirit, which will rejuvenate Israel, and they will be flourishing once again.


The song goes on to say that there are no other gods except for the God of Israel, who is the one and only god. He has announced from ancient times the things that are to come. The message encourages Israel not to fear or be afraid, as God has redeemed them, and their sins have been swept away. There is a promise of hope and restoration for Israel, and the nation should sing and shout for joy because the Lord has done great things for them.


The lyrics of the song are inspired by Isaiah 44 and the words of God spoken through the prophet. It is a message of hope, redemption, and restoration for the nation of Israel.
