Oh God be our hope in the middle Of the drought, and the flood Grant us not wealth nor too little So we remember you're in our blood Teach us to plant in our sorrows And trust the rain will come Teach us to lie down in peace And rest when the day is done Oh we only miss the water when the well runs dry But we can only count the stars in a cloudless sky Oh darling would you put your hand in mine For there's a time for water and a time for wine Oh God be our strength in the desert Be our joy, our daily bread Sit by the fire and tell stories Of the days that are ahead Teach us to walk in the mystery For to wander is to know The path of the root to find water Oh to wander is to grow Oh we only miss the water when the well runs dry But we can only count the stars in a cloudless sky Oh darling would you put your hand in mine For there's a time for water and a time for wine
