Water Cast Thy Name
The secret power of water is hidden
It can destroy or it can be tamed
River, sea, and ocean,
We are made of thee
Water be still, and bring peace,
As we pray, in your name
Does water flow through your veins
It moves through every corner
Water shall breathe
This sweet air, and
Water exhales through
These gray-blue clouds
Yet, water is gentle,
Enough, to cast thy name
