Into the Waters

Living in the water
in the life-giving Spirit
falling into the waters
feeling them flow into us
wading in the waters, the Spirit
taking control of our lives,
giving in to the stirring, the leading,
the Spirit within us, calling
changing our lives, to service,
to the ministry, the work,
for which we are called
giving our lives over
to the Spirit of God
into the waters
the wonder
of His love
