Through water we are made whole – v2


Through water we are made whole
our brokenness complete
through the storms, the waters
the buffeting of the seas

Through water God tests us
redeeming us with fire
lifting us from the depths
changing our lives around

Through water God pull us
drawing us near to him
changed by his breath forever
set to our fellow man

Through water we are made whole
healed of the breach
the storms of this world
saved by the breath of God
