Giving thought to the water after it falls?
Where does it go? What happens next?
Will it find turmoil or will it know rest?

The answer will differ with each individual fall.
One thing is for sure, whether turmoil or rest,
Each one will do what it can do best!

Every animal and plant, both grand and small,
Thirsts for a drink as it passes by.
For without the refreshing, both would soon die.

And I think how the Lord picks me up when I fall
He heals my soul when I've gone through the test
Never leading to turmoil, but sweet peace and rest.

Do I stand on the promise of Romans 8:28's all?
Or do I require a repeat of the test
Before I will do what I can do best?

Lord, May I be swift to answer Your call
To let You love through me is what I do best,
And in the doing, may others be blessed!
