wash us with the water – v4

Wash us with the water

of God’s Holy Spirit;

Cleanse us with

the Baptism of Christ.

Heal our broken bodies,

our failures of faith;

Strengthen our conscience

God’s Spirit, His voice.

Washing with the water

God’s Spirit now within us;

May the Breath of the Creator

revive, empower us.

Send us as a message

carrying Your light forward;

Going out into Your world

bearing Your likeness.
