Living Water, the Stain of His Blood – v5


Our altar this morning draped,
fabric transformed, for his purpose
brightened by living water,
raining down from heaven
pouring, falling, pulling our eyes to this, washed
by the royal stain of His blood, crimson
vivid shimmering color, textured, flowing
in velvet, in taffeta,
beside the open bible, our beliefs
below the brass cross, lighted candles
a foretaste, a mere hint of the grandeur,
the hem, the robe of the Creator,
filling Your temple with grace, with love
filling us with power, with grace
sent from above
