Living Water, the Stain of His Blood – v6


Our altar this morning draped, washed
with the royal stain of His blood, crimson
brightened by living water,
vivid shimmering color, textured, flowing
over your living altar
a foretaste, a mere hint of the grandeur
the hem, the robe of the Lord,
filling Your temple with grace,
filling all of us with love
