Recorded live at Saint Agnes during a Mass.
The voice said: Cry out.
And he said: What shall I cry?
All flesh is grass,
and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field.
Surely the people is grass;
the grass withereth, and the flower fadeth:
but the word of our God endureth for ever.
Get thee up into the high mountain,
that bringest good tidings, O Zion;
lift up thy voice with strength,
that bringest good tidings, O Jerusalem;
Lift it up. Be not afraid.
Say unto the cities of Judah: behold thy God!
Behold, the Lord God
will come with strong hand,
and his arm shall rule for him:
Behold, his reward is with him,
and his work before him.
He shall feed his flock like a shepherd:
in his arm he shall gather the lambs
and carry them in his bosom,
and shall bear-up the young.
~Isaiah 40:6-11
