LJ Idol Homecoming, Week 11B: "If The Creek Don't Rise"
River of Life
Let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!
What happens when those God sent to build bridges build a dam instead?
Many waters cannot quench love; neither can the floods drown it.
What does love do when the water it needs to survive is taken away?
For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground.
Sometimes the heat turns the waters into mist. What then?
All the rivers flow into the sea, yet the sea is not full.
But the sea cannot nourish us, and the rivers run dry.
He leads me beside still waters; He restores my soul.
What do I do when the creek dries up?
