Words from the Well


"The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life" (Proverbs 10:11).  "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked" (Jeremiah 17:9).  "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good... for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh" (Luke 6:45).

How deep is the well where God's wisdom is found!
How vast are the treasures we find!
God's Word is the fountain where truth will abound
That quenches the thirst of our mind.

The heart is deceitful above everything;
So wicked, there's no human cure.
Yet healing is present when God's Word will bring
His counsel and comfort so pure.

We thank You, dear Savior, for healing our hearts
With truth from Your Word that You gave
That fills us with treasure Your wisdom imparts,
Abundant with power to save! 

O Lord, send us forth with the words from Your well
To speak of Your marvelous grace,
That sinners may turn and be rescued from hell,
Secure in Your saving embrace.
