low

O Lord, my heart is not lifted up; my eyes are not raised too high; I do not occupy myself with things too great and too marvelous for me." ~Psalm 131:1

     The Water Song

Come, oh come!  Let us away

Lower, lower every day.

Oh, what joy it is to race

Down to the lowest place.

This the deepest law we know—

“It is happy to go low.”

Sweetest urge and sweetest will,

“Let us go down lower still.”

Hear the summons night and day

Calling us to come away.

From the heights we leap and flow

To the valleys down below.

Always answering the call,

To the lowest place of all.

Sweetest urge and sweetest pain,

To go low and rise again.

~Hannah Hurnard
