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.
