The Significance of Water

Water has always been here
mankind the source of the need
survival inescapable on this earth
according to such rich source indeed

The Bible shows its significance
on the importance of cleansing
for in the ordinance of baptism
it signifies all of one's sensing

It's commanded in the scriptures
to be baptised as a believer
going down taking your sin
come up raised to new life forever

Jesus Himself showed His deity
walking on the water so clear
this was one miracle among many
that God's Son showed top gear

Water comes down upon the earth
somewhere in this world each day
for God created it by His hand
when in drought seek God to pray

All creatures and plants need water to survive. It is mostly man who pollutes it, and that must stop if we are to survive. I enjoyed your lovely poem on the importance of water. It is a blessing to drink pure water. I give to those countries without pure water. So true! xxoo
