Cleansing Water

He is the Rock who water gives
    That we may thirst no more–
Who gives His life that we may live
    In Holy Spirit’s pour.

His Spirit to us water brings
    To bathe us in new birth,
And we with Him Hosannas sing—
    Know joy in Father’s mirth.

For joyful laughter is the fruit
    Of our Baptismal wet
When grafted into Jesse’s Root;
    We’re caught in Jesus’ net.

His water cleanses deep within
    As inside comes from out
To cleanse us each from Adam’s sin—
    Removes from us our doubt.

His image in us He now claims
    To live with Him above,
For all along this is His aim:
    We live in Triune love.
