Washed in the presence of
God
held in God’s loving arms,
the Spirit abiding, guiding,
like our mother’s womb
the living waters, love
surrounded by God’s grace
love pouring down,
drenched in these waters
saturated by God’s grace
living, alive in us
Drinking in spiritual waters
a tangible presence
everlasting, a spring,
flowing
renewing us ever, abiding
living waters of God,
giving life, flowing
lapping upon us, kissing us
washing over us, renewed
waters of God, surround us
flowing over us, alive
Washing us clean, restored
as if born again, alive,
into these waters we fall,
cleansed of our lives
our sins washed away
a clean heart to live, to
give,
in the way of God, of life,
forgiven, renewed, restored
living a new life, alive
grounded in the waters
Diving into these waters
eager, hungry for them
richly flowing, swimming
the continuum of grace
faith to protect us,
abiding,
joining all the others, the
vine,
to be infused in us, flowing
permeating our beings
awash in the waters
all of our lives
