Through water we are made whole

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
