Word of Life
Word of life and wisdom pure,
Found above and yet below,
Calling to our deepest selves,
Redefining all we know.
In a room, at dead of night,
asking what the way may be:
“Look again at all you are,
and be born again in me.”
Thirsting at the noon of day,
from the well your water draw:
“I may know your deepest fears,
yet with me you thirst no more.”
Upper room, and silent awe,
Washing feet and living vine.
Word made flesh and reaching out:
“dwell in me, for you are mine.”
So we wonder where we go,
and we ask what company.
Then the wise and daring word
simply answers: “follow me”.
