Fill the Well Within

1.In each passing mortal hour, All around me there is need, There are hearts that yearn, and tears that fall And hungry souls to feed. I must seek the Spirit’s wisdom, Learn compassion’s gentle art, For I cannot give with empty hands, Nor love with barren heart. REFRAIN: If I would bear my brother’s burden, If I would share my sister’s grief, Extend the hand of sweet compassion, Offer the weary ones relief. If I would ease the thirst of strangers And serve His children heart and hand, I must drink of heaven’s wells o’erflowing, I must learn to fill the well within. 2.I will serve my Savior gladly, Seek his little lambs who stray, But if I would lead them safely home, I must know the way. I must seek for understanding That I may serve his children well, If I seek to fill the soul athirst, I must first be filled, REFRAIN.
