The Dead Sea

"Do away with me, Lord! For I have blown it again! There's rust on my sword, There's weakness within. Who sinks in the Dead Sea? And drowns with his cross? I am broken and weary, I am a total loss! My life is sucked out, There's no longer a flow, I better dropout- I failed You, I know." "I see, but hardly agree! This is how you must grow, When I prune back the tree, Its assuring to know! I sent you a fiery trial, Exposing your deepest ore, Rest yourself for awhile, And be strengthened even more. In My kingdom you'll see An east river that flows From Jerusalem to the Dead Sea, Transforming as it goes. Where the Sea is stagnant, The waters become fresh. What was once repugnant, Will satisfy afresh. I will fill it with fish. Its banks will provide fruit. You will eat from My dish! My wine will Restitute! It will all be worth it!"
