Out of the water



  Out of the water
  came the dry earth
  all life beginning
  as our own birth
  Life from the waters
  the chaos, the maelstrom
  God creating, speaking
  let there be light.
  Out of the water
  our journey, our path
  the struggles, the trials
  keeping us down
  Life from the waters
  if we turn unto God
  walking, faithful
  focused on the Lord
