To the Contoocook

The flowing waters, the connection
across time, around the globe
the waters washing onto us
in the Contoocook
the living waters
by grace, touching them
like Christ, like you and me,
all of us washed by the waters
by the Spirit descending upon us
bringing us up from the depths
into the light
able to walk
with our brother
our savior, our Lord
joining him in his ministry
all around the world
