Into the Flowing River – v2

Into the community of believers

joining the long tradition

begun with Jesus in the Jordan

falling into the flowing river

to be washed of their sin

the fabric of the church

the love of God drenching us

feeding us for his work

Joining all believers

falling into that water

beginning with the Christ

all of us together

swimming in the living waters

joining others in service

surrounded by God’s endless love.
