The Drink of Love

Our sin will every person scorch
     And shrivel up our fruit,
But dew from Spirit each will touch
     To water every shoot. 

From Jesus each one drinks new life
     And image is re-born–
Becomes one with the world’s new light
     With sin forever shorn. 

Inscribed in each see Jesus’ face—
     Yet each one of a kind—
To take that place in human race
     That Father has in mind:

To serve without a taint of sin
    As glory lives in all,
And all the world is born again
     On far side of the fall.

To heaven we will rise above
     With Him who is our Lord
And drink in everlasting love:
     We all will Him adore.
