Forget the former things
Stop dwelling in the past
I am doing a new thing
Now it springs up
Do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the desert
Pouring water on the thirsty land
I will lead the blind by ways they have not to know
I will turn the darkness into light before them
Along paths unknown I will guide them
I formed you in the womb
I have carried you since your birth
And even to your old age
I will sustain you
I will not forsake you
I took you from the ends of the earth
From the farthest corners I called you
I have chosen you and have not rejected you
I will pour my Spirit on my children
My blessing will be on you
So do not fear, for I am with you!
