THE WELLS OF SALVATION

The imagery of Wells was applied to Salvation;

It is a beautiful symbol of great jubilation.

Wells were prized by all who were travelers;

It was life or death for all desert wayfarers.

 

Wells were the heart and centre of village life;

Without a good supply of water, life would be rife.

Where water was sufficient it brought happiness;

Without water, life would be positively ruinous.

 

God is the Giver of the Wells of Salvation;

He is not filled with anger or consternation.

Anyone may come and draw water freely;

All may come, even those who are poor and needy.

 

Let joy fill our hearts as we draw life-giving water;

We need not feel far, nor do we need to falter.

Let us with joy draw from the Wells of Salvation;

The plan of God’s Salvation is worthy of meditation.
