 Deep Pools by Raymond A. Foss 
						Deep pools of living, loving water
 so is our Lord, overflowing with hope
 hope that we will come to him,
 will ask, seek, accept his offer of love
 that we will want that relationship
 personal and face to face
 with the creator, sustainer, savior
 that we will drink from the endless well
 drink in the light, the life-giving warmth
 the saturating water, permeating our dry bones
 giving life where there was death, despair
 renewing, restoring us, calling us
 to be with him, in him, of the world only
 turning our backs on the will of this world
 the temptations, the wilderness, dry and barren
 to fall into his deep pools of love
