A diver surfaces from the deep,
Slowly, gently, up;
Lest the bubbles in his vein formed to bloat him up.
So is the uplifting force of God’s Spirit,
Lovingly drawing the sinking soul back to the top.
Steadily, patiently,
Waiting for the spirit to be willing.
Gratefully,
The prayers from the saints of God
Sustain the weary soul like water surrounds.
