The Living Water Of Life |
We ask for rain,it comes in torrents upon the shore
Along with thunder and lightning and all their uproar !
Natures has a way to know when to pour
Heaven's water, on the earth down below .
The rich and poor all need to drink
Heaven's water, that's free for all !
*
The streams and rivers that substain life
Travel along the way ; their water
Fills the lakes , the rivers , the seas and the brooks .
Of every corner and nook
Of our beloved world .
Out from the ground, life of plants and trees grow
With so much splendour, 'Twas a miracle of life !
God be praised !
For He is the maker of these all .
~*~
Living creatures that drink of this water of heaven know
How the lack of it will make them die of thirst !
I hope they make it last
For a long , long time and still will
Be there to quench the thirst of all forms of life !
~*~
Are we not travelling along the streams of life ,
Where we encounter , events
That make life sweet or bitter or both ?
But along the way there's also joy and beauty
As the joy of living , life offers in bounty !
And yet .....
When darkness shrouds us in its embrace
Only do we think of Our Savour ; He's our redeeming grace !
And , one more thing , do you know that ,
The living water of Christ is far
Far more important than this water of life ?
For it is the water of eternal life .
