The Well

Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give will never be thirsty. The water I give will become a spring of water gushing up inside that person, giving eternal life." The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water." -- John 4:13-15

The new album "Come to the Well" by Casting Crowns has some great music on it. How many times do these words echo my life? How many times do I look to the world for a remedy to the deep things that can only be satisfied in HIM? The first words of the song "The Well" tell us to leave it all behind. He has everything we need. I'm running to the well!

"The Well" (Casting Crowns)

 

Leave it all behind, Leave it all behind, Leave it all behind, Leave it all behind.

I have what you need, but you keep on searching,

I've done all the work, but you keep on working,

When you're running on empty, and you can't find the remedy, 

just come to the well.

You can spend your whole life, chasing what's missing,

but that empty inside, it just ain't gonna listen. 

When nothing can satisfy, and the world leaves you high and dry,

just come to the well.

 
CHORUS:

And all who thirst will thirst no more, 

and all who search will find what their souls long for, 

The world will try, but it can never fill, 

so leave it all behind, and come to the well.

So bring me your heart, No matter how broken,

Just Leave it all behind, just come as you are, When your last prayer is spoken, 

Just rest in my arms a while, When you come to the well

Leave it all behind, Leave it all behind, Leave it all behind.

And now that you're full, Of love beyond measure, 

your joy's gonna flow, like a stream in the desert,  

Soon all the world will see that living water is found in me, 

Cuz you came to the well
