Like our mother’s womb

Wrapped in the presence of God
Like our mother’s womb
the living waters, love
surrounded by God’s grace
love pouring down,
drenched in the waters
saturated by his grace
living, alive in us

Drinking in spiritual waters
everlasting, a spring, flowing
renewing us ever, abiding
living waters, of God,
giving life, flowing
lapping upon us, kissing us
washing over us, renewed
waters of God, surround us
flowing over us, alive

Washing us clean, restored
into the waters, we fall,
cleansed of our lives
our sins washed away
a clean heart to live, to give,
in the way of God, of life,
forgiven, renewed, restored
living a new life, alive
grounded in the waters

Diving into the waters
richly flowing, swimming
the continuum of grace
faith to protect us, abiding,
joining all the others, the vine,
to be infused in us, flowing
permeating our beings
all of our lives
