The world within and world outside

Both rest within God’s caring.

When inner streams unite with seas

They herald total sharing.

Without the water in our flesh

Our bodies soon would perish.

Without what comes from inner wells

We lose what pilgrims cherish.

Let’s treasure water from the skies,

Let’s prize our inner well-springs,

Let’s honor tunes the water shapes,

The songs which planet Earth sings.

O God of water, source of life,

The flow that brings new birthing,

When hearts and soil gain nurture’s care

Your justice has its earthing.
