Like our mother’s womb – v4

Wrapped in the presence of God
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
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
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
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
