(St. Sourney of Drumacoo)

lyrics

Use me as an instrument for Thine own good.
Fill my lungs with air the way a bellows would.
I am just a pilgrim who is on her way
Thankful for the path that I can walk today.

Holy well, oh holy well!
Looking for a space where I can safely dwell.
Holy well, only time will tell
If I'll climb the hill and find the holy well.

The hill is filled with obstacles that hold me back.
Streams that seem too hard to cross remind me that
This is not a race to see who comes in first;
When I think like that, I'll never quench my thirst.

Holy well, oh holy well!
There's enough for all at the holy well.
Holy well, only time will tell
If I'll climb the hill and find the holy well.

Wells can spring up anywhere
Underground or in the air.
Listen to your feet
They will take you there.

I can feel the yielding earth with every step
Here in communion with the boggy depth.
And you, fellow pilgrims I meet on the way
Blessings on you as you find what holds you sway.

Holy well, oh holy well!
Walking slowly three times 'round the holy well.
Holy well has this to tell:
"Every hill you meet can surely serve you well."

Holy well, oh holy well!
Dancing seven times around the holy well
Holy well has this to tell:
"Whatever path you're on I surely wish you well."
