Water-Ways

orchidee



Tune: Melcombe

('New every morning is the love')

Jeremiah 2 v.13

********

My people, they have committed

Two evils, by them they misled

They have forsaken me, the Lord

And listened to deceiving words

 

For I, the fountain of living

Waters, true refreshment giving

But my people have from me turned

And other ways have tried and learned

 

For they have hewn out cisterns that

Are broken, and no matter what

They can no water hold, supply

They cannot give, people shall die

 

But turn to me and find again

An endless quench for your thirst then

Bread and water of life I be

And can sustain you completely

    That wakes up even the most slumbered of souls, if ever the ears have heard. To turn and turn wholeheartedly, that is our sustaining grace.
