From the Fountain
From freely flowing fountain,
living water, pure as love,
fully fills the holy vessel.
Willingly, I enter
liquid abundance of the font,
become a momentary embryo
wholly covered by
God’s goodness,
each part immersed
in this new birth
then quickened by
the Spirit’s breath.
In desert of thirst,
shadow of death,
I eagerly receive
the copious cup.
Drinking deeply,
I empty it completely
and am perfectly imbued
with abounding grace
of living water flowing
freely from the fountain.
