To Drink of Living Water--Dec. 29, 2020

O Holy One, 

you are the Alpha and the Omega,

we give thanks to your holy name

and sing for joy to you.

 

You are everywhere, 

and you are in the midst of us;

you are and you were and you

are yet to come.

 

You gave us Jesus

to be with us and teach us, 

assuaging our thirst with 

his living water.

 

We will drink

and rejoice in him,

and rejoice in you.

Let it be so.
