When the Well Runs Dry Lyrics

Our world's a little smaller every day

People, places and the things we love

Suddenly have gone away

The belt is getting way too tight

The walls are closing in

An everyone I know seems to be wearing thinner skin

You say that all you do is sit and cry

As you watch the daily news

Well, I have a little comfort I can offer you

When the well runs dry

When the cupboards bare

You can know that God will still be there

Though sometimes it's really hard to see

But when the tension's high

When our hearts turn cold

Take comfort in knowing that God's in control

And will be forever and ever

Here we go again

We see man's inhumanity to man

It seems it's everywhere

And everyone is trying to understand

Watching neighbor against neighbor

Watching towns go up in flames

And wondering how many more times

We're gonna have to play this game

We hear shouts outside our windows

And riots in our streets

And then there's threats of military force

From presidential tweets

But when the well runs dry

When the cupboards bare

You can know that God will still be there

Though sometimes it's really hard to see

But when the tension's high

When our hearts turn cold

Take comfort in knowing that God's in control

And will be forever and ever

Friends may criticize my choice to bend my knees and pray

They try to tell me God's not listening

But I can hear him every day

He tells me "Be strong and courageous"

And that's what I try to do

And then he tells me not to worry

I'm gonna help you see this through.

When the well runs dry

When the cupboards bare

You can know that God will still be there

Though sometimes it's really hard to see

But when the tension's high

When our hearts turn cold

Take comfort in knowing that God's in control

And will be forever and ever

He's got this

Forever and ever
