Water and dignity

Your people yearn for running water,
fresh, invigorating and clean.
May we give generously of ourselves
to bring about change in our world.

God of life, let waters flow
and wash away injustice.

All people are made in your image
and are valued and loved by you.
May their dignity be reflected
in the chance to live life to the full.

God of life, let waters flow
And wash away injustice.

We long for life-giving water for all
and pledge to wash away injustice.
May we uphold the dignity of all
and enable your people to flourish.

God of life, let waters flow
and wash away injustice.
