All of life’s problems bleed away
When I get grounded in the water.
Grounded in the love of God
the neverending wellspring of life
poured out for all who would drink
draw in the energy, the love, the grace
of God’s gifts, freely given
like the woman at the well
we ask for the cup to be filled
for our thirst to be quenched,
without having to walk to the well
thirsty and tired, hot and tired
wanting, needing that water
grounding our faith
strengthening our sprits
to do his work
