Wells without Water


"O God, Thou art my God… my flesh longeth for Thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is" (Psalm 63:1).  "Buy the truth, and sell it not… My son, give Me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe My ways" (Proverbs 23:23,26).  "Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!" (Ezekiel 13:3).  "Sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you" (1 Peter 3:15). 

Within this dry and thirsty land,
We show where living water is:  
In Christ alone we understand
The only well of life is His.   

God's Word shall satisfy the thirst
Of all those drinking from its well,
Who know the Lord who loved us first
And died to save our souls from hell. 

The Lord our God pronounced the woe
To those who follow their own spirit. 
Their false prophetic word will show
Their empty wells to those who hear it. 

O Lord, these wells in every season
Without Your water, still are dry. 
Our hope in You provides the reason
To everyone who asks us why.
