Dry wells
In the depths of our hearts
A deep ache of emptiness
Where life should flow
We’ve filled them up with dirt
Clogged them up with sin
And the dryness has taken hold
The clay and the stone have begun to crack
You come and dig a new well
In the desert of my heart
Salvation marks a new beginning
You take me from death to life
Joy bursts out like a fountain
Peace sprinkles our faces like a spray of fresh water
Gentleness washes over us like a soothing stream
Faithfulness gives us a reliable source to depend on
Hope causes long dead flowers to bloom again
Love quenches our deep thirst
You can’t stop up this well
You can’t exhaust its supply
Take as much as you need
You never have to feel dry again
