Go back the way you came

After going through the desert, through discouragement and fear, after receiving refreshment Elijah is told to go back the way he came to finish the task of anointing the next king and prophet. It's a long way back!

(We used this over the movie sequence from Plant Earth of deserts where the desert is suddenly filled with gushing water and where the desert blooms)

Go back the way you came...

The desert and the parched land will be glad

Go back the way you came...

Water will gush forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert

Go back the way you came...

The burning sand will become a pool and thirsty ground bubbling springs.

Go back the way you came...

You're not the only one

Go back the way you came...

Build in time for rest, food and drink

Go back the way you came...

What are you doing here?

Go back the way you came...

The wilderness will rejoice and blossom, like the crocus it will burst into bloom

Go back the way you came...

Be strong. Do not fear. Your God will come.

Go back the way you came...

May gladness and joy overtake you and sorrow and sighing flee away

Go back the way you came...
