Take me Back to En Gedi (poem)

 Take Me Back to En Gedi

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 hearts 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
