Heaven's Healing Waters
Water, life force for living things
The fount the psalmist sweetly sings,
In songs of testament renown--
Heaven’s healing waters flow down.
Falling rain quenching nature’s thirst
Causing ripe buds to swell and burst,
Cleansing the earth from wilting brown--
Heaven’s healing water’s flow down.
Rivers flow remind us of veins
Running over from summer rains
Sometimes flooding a river town,
Heaven’s healing water’s flow down.
Water saves us with hydration
Shown in accounts of creation,
Abundant flows in spring meltdown
Heaven’s healing water’s flow down.
