“This is My Word” by: Pepper Choplin

As the snow falls from heaven as it comes in swirling showers from the sky.

So is My Word.

As the rains bring the water to the earth that is thirsty and dry.

So is My Word.

And the Word of My mouth, it shall not return empty;

It will bless the earth wherever it is heard.

This is My Word.

As the rains bring renewal and the tender buds begin to come alive,

So is My Word.

Giving seed to the sower, and the bread to the hungry ‘til they thrive,

So is My Word, so is My Word.

And the Word of My mouth, it shall not return empty;

It will bless the earth wherever it is heard.

This is My Word, this is My Word.

O Lord, when I am weary, when I feel the days I’m living are in vain,

My God, help me be faithful to the Word You have given to proclaim.

Proclaim the Word, and you will go out in joy and be led forth in peace,

And the hills will break before you into song.

So be faithful, brave and true, for I will go before you.

And when your earthly journey here is done, I’ll say well done!

“As the rain and the snow 
   come down from heaven, 
and do not return to it 
   without watering the earth 
and making it bud and flourish, 
   so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, 
so is My word that goes out from my mouth: 
   It will not return to Me empty, 
but will accomplish what I desire 
   and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. 
 You will go out in joy 
   and be led forth in peace; 
the mountains and hills 
   will burst into song before you, 
and all the trees of the field 
   will clap their hands.”-Isaiah 55:10-12
