Into the Flowing River – v3

Into the community of believers
joining the long tradition
begun with Jesus in the Jordan
falling into the flowing river
the fabric of the church
the love of God drenching us
feeding us for his work

Joining all believers
in one body, the church,
beginning with the Christ
all of us together
threads fused into one fabric
swimming in the living waters
surrounded by God’s endless love.
