  • “Wellspring" from the album "Pure Hammered Dulcimer" by Joshua Messick. JoshuaMessick.com
    I composed "Wellspring" during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. It provided my soul with much peace and helped me learn more of God’s grace. Late in 2020, my dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and this piece provided an even greater comfort to my heart. This video is dedicated to the loving memory of my father, David Messick (August 7, 1949 - July 2, 2021).

    I am so sorry you lost your dad last year to Pancreatic Cancer. My mom was diagnosed with it too, early 2020. Music comforted her. I prayed that God would walk my mom Gently into Heaven and He did. Think of the wonderful and joyful times with your dad and I pray that it will bring you joy and peace.
    Your music is so inspiring. You give a lot of people joy. I never heard of this instrument and I want to learn how to play. Thank you for blessing all of us.

    That's beautiful, extremely calming and soul-touching. God certainly was with you and working through you in the song's composition. I understand your loss, having lost my own dad to cancer in 1996 when he was almost 62-years-old. I too found music to be a great comfort and along with my faith in Christ I was able, eventually, to come to terms with my loss. Thanks for sharing this song and I hope that God will bless you richly.

    My condolences on the passing of your father, I can't imagine the pain you're going through. Take solace in knowing that God counts your tears and longs to comfort you and wipe all tears from your eyes... "Weeping may endure for the moment, but joy comes in the morning"
    What a beautiful, emotional piece this is, it brought tears to my eyes knowing you dedicated this to him. Cherish the memory of him until you meet again on that resurrection day!
    Peace be unto you my friend
