Living in the Stream

Like John, in the river
in the living waters
living in the stream
the ribbon, the tide
the living waters
downstream from those before
fed by the waters, the bread
their acts of faith
sharing, spreading,
witness to God’s grace
Christ’s sacrifice
feeding us, quenching our thirst
that we may be filled
sharing with those downstream
those whom we touch
those who will follow
sharing the water
to the ends of the earth
