Into the Living Waters – v2

Following his call, the urging
the calling of God deep within him
throwing starfish back into the ocean
so many starfish, miles of beach
saving those he can, one at a time.

We each walk that beach
the world so vast, so lonely,
so many do not know
the indwelling of God’s Spirit,
the message of Jesus Christ.

Gently cast the starfish
back into the living waters
saving one at a time
accepting the grace of Christ
the ocean of God’s love.
