Grounded in the Water – revised – v2

All of life's problems bleed away
When I get grounded in the water.
Grounded in the love of God
the never-ending wellspring of life
poured out for all who would drink
who would draw in the energy, the love,
the grace of God’s gifts, so freely given

Like the woman at the well
we ask for the cup to be filled
for our thirst to be quenched,
without having to walk to the well
thirsty and tired, hot and tired
wanting, needing that water
to grounded our faith

Lord, we pray for
a special anointing;
strengthening our spirits
to go and do His work

Written 8/27/00. It says it all about my summer retreat, living in a cabin, on an island, in a lake.
