His Living Water

 

When Caesar crossed the Rubicon
History took a turn.
Now we have a river to cross,
Or a bridge we will burn.
 
It’s in such times as these days hold
When we, also, must choose,
Do we cross over the river
Or burn the bridge, refuse?
 
Perhaps for some, it’s time to cross,
History’s due a change,
But there are those who stand to lose
Power in the exchange.
 
For me, I seek a third option
To joyously pursue.
I plan to walk into the flow,
Living water from You.
 
I don’t deny we need to change,
This world is wracked by strife,
But it is in His grace alone
That we’ll find a new life.
 
I won’t traverse this Rubicon,
Nor burn the bridge across.
I’ll stand in the water of life
That pours out from His cross.
 
John 7:38-39
Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’ Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
