Out
of the water
came
the dry earth
all
life beginning
as
our own birth
from
darkness to light
Life
from the waters
the
chaos, the maelstrom
God
creating, speaking
let
there be light
let
creation emerge.
Out
of the water
our
journey, our path
the
struggles, the trials
keeping
us down
our
joy hidden.
Life
from the waters
a
quickening, breath,
if
we turn unto God
walking,
faithful
focused
on the Lord.
