Put on your garment of praise my daughter,
My princess whom I have chosen.

I will lead you beside still waters,
With cool waters I will refresh you.

Stoop down and drink from the life giving stream.
Drink now and I will quench your thirst.

Listen now, for I will speak to you,
my daughter, whom I love.

I have seen the work of your hands,
it has been pleasing in My sight.

Remember how I brought you out of the cloud,
How I dressed you in white,
How I adorned your head with jewels.

Look where I am sending you.
Follow in the way that I have prepared for you.

Go into the city and listen,
Listen for the cry of the broken hearted.

Let your heart discern what weight has come upon them.

Then lead them back to My stream,
My river of Love,
And they too will find Me.

Do not be afraid, for I have walked this path before you.
Follow in My steps and you will not falter.

I love you child.

(Heb. 2:7)
