“We sing the song that Israel sang, in the desert long ago, spring up, O well, spring up, and let the living waters flow.”

We all go through so much daily, and sometimes we pray for the Lord to spring up in our midst, to come in the brimming flood, to refresh us in the desert, where our thirsty souls are longing to drink abundantly. I am saying this to encourage someone this morning as I am encouraging myself; in praying for the living waters to flow all around me; and so I sing: “Spring up, O well of blessing, we cry to Thee today, break forth in the mighty torrent, as now we sing and pray. The souls that round us perish; the old, the young, the strong, to Thee by right and ransom, the Lord of Hosts belong. Spring up, O well of blessing, we sing to Thee today, the princes and the nobles, Thy great command obey. In toiling and in labor, amid the burning sand, spring up, flow forth, and gladden, the whole expectant land.” Thank you, Lord!
