The current of his words
flowing waters, alive
washing over us, living waters
In remembrance of Him
His baptism in the Jordan
washing over us, living waters
His trials in the wild
protected by angels
washing over us, living waters
Their lives, their history
the pain of the dark night
washing over us, living waters
Needing the waters, the Spirit
cleansing us, healing us
washing over us, living waters
Connecting us with Him
with all believers around the world
washing over us, living waters of love
