To listen to the poem, Click Here Refreshing Waters Sometimes I feel I’m in a desert Trying to find my way The heat beating down with no relief With no shelter through the day Day and night I cry out to God That He will come to my aid And just when I feel like giving up In His refreshing waters I wade For God supplies streams of hope That flows to wash over me It seems, though, for a brief moment A short and temporal relief Then once again I’m in the desert Enduring the heat and the wind Not long, O Lord, I start to pant For refreshing waters within I have to stop and ask myself Why am I where I am? It seems I’m wondering aimlessly With no purpose, direction or plan I long O God to find a way out No longer to be in this place When O God shall I be released And dwell in your mercy and grace? I long for your refreshing waters To daily be part of my life To continually be immersed in the streams Of the blessings that flow from Christ. © By M.S.Lowndes
