Shallow waters hardly cover the stones
They bubble and ripple their way along
Deep waters run still
They hardly look as if they are moving
Often our life is like turbulent waters
Everything is done with such a rush and a gush
We would do well to consider where we are going

It takes time and patience
to make anything that is good
If you try to do something in a hurry
you are liable to spoil it

Consult the Lord about what you want to do
He will guide you and help you
Then you will end up having
something well worthwhile
