The Lord is God in heaven above and on the earth below
(Deuteronomy 4:39; NIV).
1. You are my longing:
Please pour out your love,
Until we unite, Lord,
In heaven above.
2. You are my thirsting:
Make love overflow,
Until we are one, Lord,
On earth, here, below.

The liquid analogy pertaining to love is accurate biblically, taking into consideration references to living water in scripture. Thankyou for this Ruth, God bless you.
Thank you, Alan. I don’t think I got this piece quite right, but I’ve got very little energy at present, so have to just do the best I can. How are you? XXXXX
I am better than I was a few days ago, when I had a surge of fatique. With this lovely damp weather my joints are achy and needing painkillers, but it is bearable praise the Lord. Thanks for asking sister.
I pray for you, often. We both live with our chronic conditions, like Saint Paul xxxxx
