Lord Jesus, with you is
the fountain of life,
the spring of water
gushing up to eternal life.
With our hope in you we
enter the inner shrine
behind the curtain,
where in your light, we
see light.
(And we see how foolish
we have
been to draw attention
to ourselves
by trying to build
something big.)

For with you is the fountain of life;
in your light we see light.

Gen. 11:4
Then [the people] said, "Come, let us build ourselves a
city, and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for
ourselves; otherwise we shall be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole
earth."
Heb. 6:19-20
We have this hope, a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul,
a hope that enters the inner shrine behind the curtain, where Jesus, a
forerunner on our behalf, has entered, having become a high priest forever according
to the order of Melchizedek.
John 4:14
"…but those who drink of the water that I will give
them will never be thirsty. The water
that I will give will become in them a spring of water gushing up to eternal
life." [Jesus to the Samaritan
woman]
