A stirring piano solo composed by Kevin G. Pace. Inspired by Isaiah 35:1-2 and the text of Mark R. Fotheringham. Dedicated to the spirit and sacrifice of the early Utah pioneers. Rooted in themes of faith, perseverance, and divine blessing, the piece paints a vivid portrait of the settlers’ struggles to transform barren desert into flourishing land. With flowing melodies and tender harmonies, the music captures the pioneers’ humble pleas for strength, rain, and harvest, culminating in a triumphant vision of the desert rejoicing and blossoming like a rose. Deeply reverent and inspiring, this anthem honors the enduring legacy of those who tilled the soil with hope and trust in God.
