Take me back to En Gedi

A poem about a waterfall I visited in Israel

Take me back to En Gedi

Where your Living Water flows

Where it was easy to find you, to hear you, to seek you

Take me back through the desert

So my wandering heart breaks 

So the eyes of my soul open

So I’m completely lost until I find your face

I desperately know that I need you desperately

But the things of this world won’t let me escape

Like David found En Gedi

Where Living Water overflowed 

Lead me back to your embrace

Take me back to En Gedi

Bring me down to my knees

My heart is drying up quickly

Let your love wash over me

Lead me to your waterfall

I’ll dive as deep as I can 

So I can immerse myself in your grace

And be near you once again

This dry and barren land

Is getting the best of me

God I need your Living Water 

Rain down your love on me

Take me back to En Gedi

I’m ready to hike

I’m prepared to be broken

I’m ready to fight 

To fight against my weary soul

To run from all that holds me back 

To humble myself before your throne 

If that’s what it takes to be brought back

Back into your promised home

Oh Abba, Living Water

Forgive me for my wrongs 

Cleanse me once again in your waterfall

Take me back to En Gedi

Now my sins are no more 

My savior has freed me

I can swim in your love once more

Living Water I need you

Not just now but always 

I’ll follow you through the desert 

Through the valley through the storm 

Through the wadi to En Gedi

Where Living Water flows

I could stay here forever

In my Abba’s waterfall

Awesome, so you have been here! What an awesome place to travel to and to find your faith. If only we all could set out on this path, indeed perhaps we all do in somehow...Thank you for bringing us back to God, I forgot about him again, and loved my devotion like this, oh God save us, my heavenly father, what love there must be this great divine being that we can God and can seek with all our heart and soul and mind
