    A Lovely Well

    It doesn’t matter what I do
    When both my eyes are fixed on you

    I see your power and I’m afraid
    But then your love drives fear away

    I’m moving to a strange new place
    My one desire your sweet embrace

    Still watching as you draw me near
    Jesus it’s just your voice I hear

    Its sound is that of rushing water
    My lips are sealed no words to utter

    But when I speak the truth I’ll tell
    I’ll draw it from your lovely well

    We’ll give them everything they need
    And by your Spirit they’ll be freed

    From all their greed and lust and malice
    To live with us inside your palace

    No evil through the gates comes in
    But only those who are born to win

    The prize of life that you hold dear
    The desperate and needy dwell in here

    Each gate is made of a single pearl
    And outside those lukewarm are hurled

    No sun or moon or lamp at night
    The Lord our God will be our light

    Into this place the nations will bring
    Every good and righteous and holy thing

    And how will we respond to this
    Our crowns we’ll offer as a gift

    To the one who truly deserves them all
    And at his feet again we’ll fall

    When our time stops eternity begins
    Because Jesus cleansed us from our sins

    His grace is like a cleansing rain
    He washed away our every stain

    The Word of God is the key we see
    To all the good there will ever be

    So how then should we treat our brother
    With respect and honor as we treat our mother

    Our Father knows our every thought
    And with His Son’s life we were bought
