Really Living – v3

Drinking the water
living water of life,
refreshed by the Savior
from life into life

Like plants reborn in
the desert after rain
we are renewed, freed
by the good news

The gospel of our brother, our Lord
Jesus Christ, the Son of God
who came to restore
to lift us from the depths

Freed to live as the Master taught
as a good neighbor to all,
living out the twin commandments,
Really living, for all
