Isaiah 35

Which worship songs are based on Isaiah 35?

  1. You Will Make All Things New — Sovereign Grace Music (2026) Isaiah 35:5-6

    The song evokes imagery of the blind seeing and the lame walking, which parallels the prophetic vision in Isaiah where the eyes of the blind are opened and the lame leap like deer, symbolizing healing and restoration.

  2. Mary, Did You Know? — Zara Larsson (2024) Isaiah 35:5-6

    The catalog of sight, hearing, restored life, mobility, and speech closely paraphrases Jesus’ description of his messianic works while drawing on Isaiah’s prophecy of restoration.

  3. Mary, Did You Know? — CCV Music (2023) Isaiah 35:5-6

    The bridge closely follows Isaiah's coordinated vision of blind and deaf people being restored, the lame leaping, and formerly speechless people rejoicing.

Isaiah 35 (King James Version)

1 The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.

2 It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God.

3 Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.

4 Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.

5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.

6 Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.

7 And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.

8 And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.

9 No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there:

10 And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
