What Use Water


By Jonathan Hunter-Kilmer

water drink and wash me free

from John's hand You let us see

trickle underfoot in stream

deeper rivers push boat's steam

mix with water and juice make

mix with blood communicate

separate or bring by boat

safety was a castle moat

designate as chrism does

baptised now as water was

water, grape and oil with blood

in the chalice hope will bud

float the soul and flush the sin

drink Him let the Son pour in
