Like a Drop of Water
(Isaiah 45:22)

 Like water falling on a sea sponge

Touching with quiet sound.

God’s love and peace fill our soul,

Life in abundance is found,

Life in abundance is found.

 

Like water falling in quiet flow

Streams of God’s life come into our soul;

Flowing so deeply, penetrating through,

God’s life makes us anew,

God’s life makes us anew.

 

(Refrain)  The Angels of God

Sweetly come in,

They come with God’s peace

For hearts turned toward Him.

 

Like water dropping on a hard stone,

Touching with noisy sound;

Temptation comes – answer with prayer,

God’s love is all around,

God’s love is all around.

 

When sadness comes,

Confusion and doubt,

Don’t keep it hidden, hidden within.

Choose someone wisely

To share your thoughts;

Then sweet peace can come in,

Then sweet peace can come in.  (Refrain)

 

When you are strong

With the strength of the Lord

The enemy is weak and cowardly,

Timid and fearful, running away.

Stand strong in the Lord Jesus,

Stand strong in the Lord Jesus.

 

When you stand firm in God’s strength,

Face your temptations with courage,

No one can harm you, no need to fear,

God’s strong angels are near,

God’s strong angels are near.  (Refrain)
