Living Water

Like a cool glass of water on a hot, hot day
We long for you,
You slake our thirst
You refresh us, you sustain us and make us new.

And like the ocean, you are broad and wide, deep and unknown, full of life.
We put our toe in, we gain confidence, we immerse ourselves, we splash and frolic.
Like a wave your Spirit rushes beneath and behind us
Carrying us forward in an exhilarating ride
You refresh us, you sustain us and make us new.

And like the last remaining water hole in a dry, dry place
From far and near we are drawn to you.
We kneel and cup our hands and drink you in
And looking to the left and right
We encounter others who are doing the same.

Loving God, living water
You refresh us, you sustain us and make us new.
We praise you.
Amen
