Oh God, be our hope in the middle Of the drought and the flood Grant us not wealth, not too little So we remember You're in our blood Teach us to plant in the sorrow And trust the rain will come Teach us to lie down in peace And to rest when the day is done Oh, we only miss the water when the well runs dry We can only count the stars in the cloudless sky Oh darling, won't you put your hand in mine? 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 wonder is to grow Oh, we only miss the water when the well runs dry We can only count the stars in the cloudless sky Oh darling, won't you put your hand in mine There's a time for water and a time for wine
