Drenched in the sharing

Drenched in the sharing
sharing the living waters
washed at the well
at the feet of Jesus
offered salvation
to drink the living waters
washing over us
in the sermon that he preached
sharing the message
in ladles full, and buckets
feeling the waters
washing over me
the well alive,
drenched in the sharing
the joy of worship
dipping from my skin
washed in the water
saturated, filled
wanting to share
to pour out the blessing
to share beyond
outside this well,
this building
to offer the living waters
to everyone we meet

“Do you confess Jesus Christ as your Savior,
put your whole trust in his grace, and promise to serve him as
your Lord, in union with the Church which Christ has opened
to people of all ages, nations, and races?”
