Thus says the Lord, who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and what comes from it, who gives breath to the people upon it and spirit to those who walk in it: I am the Lord, I have taken you by the hand and kept you; I have given you as a covenant to the people, a light to the nations, to open the eyes that are blind, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, from the prison those who sit in darkness.
This is from what is known as "The First Servant Song." In total, it affirms God's glorious victory and that God is creator of all and source of life. God has called Israel to bring light to nations groping in darkness.
As we walk to Jerusalem, these words can be seen as our "marching orders."
