Took another wonderful walk today, Lord,
through your own Great Meadows,
a natural garden of your beauty and blessings...
Stopping at a small jut of land,
hard by a bend in the Concord River,
I was taken by the gentle persistence of soft ripples,
guiding the water downstream...
And I wondered...
Were those ripples stirred by a gentle summer breeze
or quickened by an undercurrent hidden,
yet at work, beneath the Concord's surface,
moving things along, just as you desire?
Most likely, not a case of either - or
but rather, Lord, both - and...
And so your Spirit moves me:
with soft, persistent ripples, stirring me to life
and rolling deep within me,
'neath my surface tears and smiles,
moving things along, just as you intend...
Bless me, Lord,
with breezes, ripples and undertows,
moving me, pushing me, drawing me downstream
to where the river of my life
meets the ocean of your love,
just as you desire...
Protect me, Lord, on the river's bank,
awake or asleep as I may be
that awake I might keep watch with you
and asleep, rest in your peace...
Amen.
Peace Is Flowing Like A River by Carey Landry
Peace is flowing like a river,
Flowing out of you and me.
Flowing out into the desert,
Setting all the captives free.
God's love is flowing like a river,
Flowing out of you and me.
Flowing out into the desert,
Setting all the captives free.
Alleluia, alleluia. Alleluia, alleluia.
Alleluia, alleluia. Alleluia, alleluia.
God's peace is flowing like a river,
Flowing out of you and me.
Flowing out into the desert,
Setting all the captives free.
Setting all the captives free.
