FROM BAPTISM TO BRIDE

The water of Your Word is washing
Away the dirt of man
In the one baptism You spoke of
Into your Holy Plan

Come, wash us dear Lord, in your water
Deliver us from drought
Fill up our vessels to the brim
Then, gently, pour us out

The water with which You have washed us
Will be turned into wine
In all these over-flowing vessels
That cling untoTheVine

Blest Bridegroom of the Wedding Feast
With joy, Your blushing Bride
Drinks in deeply the fruit of YourLove
Forever, by Your side

So happy to be poured out for You
Till nothing's left of self
Thus, making room for all  Your riches
She glories in Your wealth

Blest son, sister, brother, and friend
Mother, behold my Wife
I loved Her even unto death
And now We reign in Life  
   
"That He might sanctify and cleanse it, with the washing of water by The Word."
Ephesians 5:26   May we immerse ourselves in The Word, for this is The Washing.
