cloth bodies drenched – v6

empty, dry, like the bones in the valley
eager for life, for living water
empty, wanting to be filled
filled to overflowing
cloth bodies drenched
washed with mercy, with grace
filled with Christ, with mercy
living waters washing
over, into, through us
cloth bodies ready
open to this blessing
filled with these waters
God’s Holy Spirit alive
washing over, into, through us
out into the world
