The Urgency of Faith

Stories of faith, of His day and ours
indwelling of our God
to withstand the evils of this world
the washing in the waters
the Spirit falling down
living within our hearts
The urgency of faith
to endure, hope in the wilderness
knowing our future with Him
A message of hope, the Good News alive
flowing like the living waters
the rivers connecting us
to our savior and to one another
all around the world
