Water and discipleship

Your people yearn for clean water
but their chances are crushed by poverty.
May their thirst be quenched
and their lives transformed.

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

Your people demand water,
given by you to be shared by all.
May we listen to their voices
and ensure that they are heard.

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

We long for your life-giving water
and pledge to wash away injustice.
May we be faithful disciples of Christ
and enable others to flourish.

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