Lyrics
They search and search
People are actively searching for something.
For a well that will not dry
They seek a source that won't run out or disappoint.
They want to find
Their desire is to discover a reliable promise.
A promise that will not lie
Seeking a commitment that is truthful and trustworthy.
Outside a smile
Externally, they may appear happy, but internally, they are sorrowful.
But oh, how they weep inside
Despite outward appearances, there is inner sadness.
The deserts hard
The challenges in life are formidable.
When hope seems so out of sight
Hope is elusive in difficult circumstances.
But You are the fountain
Reference to a divine source, a fountain of hope.
O God of the mountain
Addressing God as the deity of the mountain, a symbol of stability.
They shall drink
Assurance that those who partake will not face spiritual death.
And they shall not die
Addressing pilgrims and strangers, offering salvation.
O pilgrims and strangers
Continuation of addressing those seeking a higher purpose.
They find you a Savior
Encouraging the discovery of God as a Savior.
Spirit give them
Invoking the Spirit to inspire meaningful dreams at night.
Dreams in the night
Asking for divine guidance through dreams.
How shall they hear
Pondering how people will learn about Jesus.
Of Jesus, though he appears?
Questioning belief in Jesus without a visible witness.
Will they believe
Will faith arise without tangible evidence?
Without a witness near?
Highlighting the importance of being witnesses to Jesus.
We are the light
Calling believers to be a guiding light in the darkness.
Let's go deep into the night
Encouraging believers to venture into challenging situations.
And though we die
Even in death, believers will rise when called by Jesus.
When Jesus calls we'll rise
Reference to resurrection and eternal life.
But You are the fountain
Reiteration of God as the source of hope and sustenance.
O God of the mountain
Addressing God's divine presence on the mountain.
They shall drink
Promise that partaking in God's fountain ensures spiritual life.
And they shall not die
Continuation of the assurance of life through divine connection.
O pilgrims and strangers
Referring again to pilgrims and strangers seeking salvation.
They find you a Savior
Encouraging the discovery of God as a Savior once more.
Spirit give them
Repetition of the plea for the Spirit to inspire meaningful dreams.
Dreams in the night
Final emphasis on seeking divine guidance through dreams at night.
