Through the Waters (2)

streams of water,
ribbons of connection
the molecules alive
flowing through the waters
making us one
around the globe
connected with one another
within the community of faith
into the waters, dying to self
rising with Christ,
with all our brothers and sisters
through the waters
into new life
changed forever
living as children of God
the Spirit indwelling within us
new creations
by water and the Spirit
