Wading In

You, a roar behind us

We turn around

Width and weight about that wonderful sound

You, a brooding swirling

Blue-green ocean

Vast in size and depth 

and us

Wading In

Come, your voice, insistent,

bids us step in

Come the invitation sounding again.

Come I’ll show you mysteries 

you have not known

Cool Inviting

Exciting us

Wading in

Just as the priests bearing your Ark

By faith 

stepped in the Jordan

So we, by faith 

Bearing the likeness of your Son

We come 

In our innocent audacity the journey will begin

And You, the Gracious Holy One 

Smile and welcome us

Wading In
