Surrounded by God’s Love - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

Like our mother’s womb
wrapped by the presence of God
the living waters
surrounded by God’s love
drenched in the waters
saturated by his grace
living, alive in us

Drinking in God’s spiritual waters
everlasting, a spring
renewing us ever
living waters
giving life, flowing
lapping upon us
washing over us
waters of God
flowing over us

Washing us clean
into the waters
cleansed of our lives
our sins washed away
a clean heart to live
in the way of God
forgiven, renewed
living a new life
grounded in the waters

Diving into the waters
richly flowing, swimming
the continuum of grace
faith to protect us
joining all the others
to be infused in us
permeating our beings
all of our lives
