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
