Isaiah 5:1-7 Legendary Bryan Duncan and guest legendary guitarist Kid Ramos on "Beauty in the Wasteland"

Everything seems right - God has planted a vineyard and tended it, but then bad, stinky fruit emerges. What has happened? How can we make things right? Chad gives another encouraging lesson and meditation on this passage, helping us to trust fully in the work of God. Even if we are plowed up and torn apart for a season, perhaps He is accomplishing the good that He wants for us, the good we cannot do for ourselves. Bryan Duncan and guitarist Kid Ramos team up on this song that speaks of God cultivating beauty from the wasteland.  Show Notes: Support 1517 Podcast Network 1517 Podcasts 1517 on Youtube 1517 Podcast Network on Apple Podcasts 1517 Events Schedule 1517 Academy - Free Theological Education What’s New from 1517: The Impossible Prize: A Theology of Addiction by Donavan Riley Ditching the Checklist by Mark Mattes Broken Bonds: A Novel of the Reformation, Book 1 of 2 by Amy Mantravadi More from the hosts: Chad Bird Lyrics for Beauty from the Wasteland My life is a wasteland Trampled and broken down Briars and thorns are everywhere In this dry and thirsty ground I give to You my land Plant your vines in my soil Spirit do Your work in me Lord Jesus, make me whole   Chorus You bring life from death And beauty for ashes Forgiveness for my sins All that I bring to You is dust and sand But You   cultivate the beauty Beauty from the wasteland   Don’t let me be satisfied With wild grapes in this  land  Don’t let me choke from the weeds  Won’t You prune me by your hand Pour down the rain of your Spirit Stream  the sunlight of Your Word Cause me to root and blossom  Let my soul be undisturbed    Chorus You bring life from death And beauty for ashes Forgiveness for my sins All that I bring to You is dust and sand But You cultivate the beauty Beauty from the wasteland   I will sing for the one I love For the one I love is You
