The Water and the Wind

[Instrumental intro] [Verse 1 - Bubba MALE] By the river stood a family With a towel upon the rail Grandma prayed in quiet wonder As the church began to sing Different roads had brought them near here Different ways to speak of grace But they came with humble questions And the hope of love's embrace [Chorus - Bubba and Darlene FEMALE harmony] The water and the wind, Lord The mystery of Your grace Let my outward words and living Meet an inward heart of faith I won't claim to hold Your wonder In the little that I know Let the love You plant within me Find a place to grow [Verse 2 - Darlene FEMALE] Some would speak of sacred promise Some of witness to belief Some would tell of Spirit's filling As they shared their history We can listen with respect here Bring our questions to the Word Let our differences find kindness Let each neighbor still be heard [Chorus - duet] The water and the wind, Lord The mystery of Your grace Let my outward words and living Meet an inward heart of faith I won't claim to hold Your wonder In the little that I know Let the love You plant within me Find a place to grow [Instrumental solo and break] [Bridge - intimate then build] Not a song to settle doctrine Just a prayer beside the stream For a life that bears good fruit, Lord For a heart made clean [Final chorus - full duet] The water and the wind, Lord The mystery of Your grace Let my outward words and living Meet an inward heart of faith I won't claim to hold Your wonder In the little that I know Let the love You plant within me Find a place to grow [Outro - resolve naturally] The Water and the Wind [Instrumental ending]
