The Word of the Lord is a fresh-flowing stream
From weariness, burn-out and "wear" to redeem.
Here is refreshing from which we may drink
To strengthen, encourage and keep us "in sync".
It's cooling waters relieve heat of battle
And quiet the sound of enemy "prattle".
We are renewed and regain our peace.
Here from anxiety we find release.
Reading and speaking and living the Word
Becomes living waters, our lives to engird.
Here we can find oasis and calm.
The Word is a river with sweet, healing balm.
"Quicken thou me according to thy word."
Psalm 119:25 KJV
"The entrance of thy words giveth light."
Psalm 119:130 KJV
"He leadeth me beside the still waters."
Psalm 23:2 KJV
