Spring up, O Well

Spring up, O well, as I sing unto you.. The nobles have dug you, to give all your due. You were prepared and built, for the day to behold.. To water the rejoicers, with drink as was told. A Proverb proclaimed, that the righteous will stand.. To signify abundance, with favour so grand. To desire the blessings, of overflowing grace.. Life-giving water, is needful for this race. Manifest in me, the power of your word.. To declare there is life, in the things I have heard. A deeper connection, through this path I must walk.. Flow from my belly, like a lily on its stalk. Spring up, O well, and come be my source.. For tarrying is unwelcome, to those on this course. Provision is your garment, with wealth to attest.. So rejoice in the desert, with shade and in rest. Water abundantly, run through my soul.. Come Holy Spirit, with help for my goal. Your power and might, will lead me to life.. So Spring up, O well, and keep me from strife.
