God’s Fountain, or Our Cisterns?

With other cisterns, we still thirst But not the waters, Jesus gives
Becomes a fountain, within us
Springing up, forever lives.

And God warns by deserting
We become wayward people
As we drink, from broken cisterns
We commit two great evils.

In the midst of our darkness
God in mercy, send light
An awakening, to revive us
By Your Spirit, to ignite.

Like the Psalmist of old
We cry out, poor and needy
Do preserve us, O God
Save your servants, our entreaty.

With a focus on obeying
God’s truths, they go share
More multiplying disciples
Prayerfully go, everywhere.

Know faith, is our certainty
Our sure expectation
Based on our certain hope
As we wait, in anticipation.

So little energy and time
Few invest in prayer
’Tis no great surprise
God’s blessings aren’t there.

Shake us and wake us
Revive us O Lord
Send down the fires
May Your Spirit be poured.

For our focus is body
But God speaks to the soul
Our faith, His redemption
These make a man whole.

With death to self-will
The way of the Cross
By grace submit all
With the Lord, ‘tis not loss.
