Wondrous Water

Credits:

This lovely song by Judith Harrison tells of the life-giving and life-taking power of water. It was composed as part of a devotion to the element of water. The vocals are a duet between Deb Kroehwimwin and Melanie Crowombin. It’s track 13 on our album Crow Magic, which you can buy here.

Lyrics:

Water, wondrous water
I kneel before you, giver of life
I cannot live without you within me
You give me life, you give me life.

Water, wondrous water
I kneel before you, taker of life
I cannot live with me within you
You give me death, you give me death
You take away my breath

Water you are wondrous
I sing to you
Do you hear?
Do you reply?
Are you alive?
I’ve had flashing moments
Feeling water alive
Playing with me
Playing with me
Playing with me
In these flashing moments
I believe in…

Water, wondrous water
I kneel before you
Giver and taker of life
I cannot live within or without you
You give me life
And you bring death
Splashes to splashes, drop to drop
You give me life
You give me death
Water, wondrous water
Be here with me

I have created four altars … Elemental Altars Blessing...
