Catching up...

From early October: I took a walk along the Jordan River (in Utah, not the Holy Land), so grateful to be near a body of running water after 2.5 years of living in California's drought. This hymn sprung to mind, and I had the good sense to jot it down.

Water's Edge

Today I prayed by the water's edge
and sang to my Creator, Lover God.
Into my heart I invited Him
to rest his head
and sing His songs to me.

I asked Him for his grace and strength
that I may suffer with and for his Son
the realities of life worth living
the path of merciful outpouring,
emptying myself
that I may be filled with Him alone.
