Saturated Believing – v9

Our bodies, our lives, soaked, filled,

dripping wet, drenched, overflowing,

like cloth prayer dolls, worn, tattered,

passed down through generations;

Immersed in the living waters

the promise of Your holy Word…

 

Living sacrifices, vessels, bodies,

each week, coming before You

entering into reverence, awe,

given in worship, to be filled;

Given for Your pleasure

for Your holy purpose…

Saturated believing, on fire,

filled with Pentecost flames,

not lukewarm in our coming,

In our sitting at Your feet;

We long to be filled by You Lord,

wet, drenched to overflowing…
