Thrown into the troubled waters

The tree of Calvary
placed on the hill
thrown into the world
the troubled waters
to make the bitter sweet
to make our sin clean
with his blood, the oil
his body, his blood
his gift of sacrifice
calming the waters
made clean, pure
by the unblemished lamb
the wood, the cross
the living water

November 14, 2011 and November 15, 2011
Exodus 15:22-27
and comments of Ruth of 11/13/2011
comparing the tree cast into the waters
and the tree of the cross of Calvary
