Through water we are made
whole
our brokenness complete
through the storms, the
waters
the buffeting of the seas
Through water God tests
us
redeeming us with fire
lifting us from the
depths
changing our lives around
Through water we are made
whole
healed of the breach
the storms of this world
saved by the breath of
God
Through water God pull us
drawing us near to him
changed by his breath
forever
set to our fellow man

I love this water theme you have been working with. Beautiful, flowing...
Thanks. All are based on Ruth's sermon, which has the link in the footnotes. Wrote a whole bunch more today in my down time while substitute teaching today.
