Lyrics
Jesus met a thirst women once dusty and alone
He offered her a life sweeter than she'd ever know
Then Jesus told her all about the sin she'd ever done
She drank that living water then she told then everyone
Come to the Well
(That well of living water flowing from on high)
He is the well
(Don't wait till it gets hotter tell your thirst goodbye)
Drink from that well
Like that women when he told her all about her sin
When you drink this water you will never thirst again
So many times you made the trip with empty water pots
But left without enough to fill the smallest one you brought
But meet the well that never dries
He'll wash away your stains
The only one that satisfies and Jesus is his name
Come to the Well
(That well of living water flowing from on high)
He is the well
(Don't wait till it gets hotter tell your thirst goodbye)
Like that women when he told her all about her sin
When you drink this water you will never thirst again
Come to the Well
(That well of living water flowing from on high)
He is the well
(Don't wait till it gets hotter tell your thirst goodbye)
Drink from that well
Come to the well
Come to the well (the well)

Meaning & Inspiration
Come to the Well retells the meeting between Jesus and the Samaritan woman through the image of living water. The opening verse moves from thirst and isolation to disclosure, grace, and witness: Jesus names the womans past, offers a different kind of life, and she carries the news to others. The chorus then turns that biblical scene into an invitation to seek the only source that truly satisfies.
The well functions as more than a physical setting. Empty water pots picture repeated efforts that cannot answer spiritual need, while the water that never runs dry points to life received from Christ. The lyric also joins cleansing with satisfaction, presenting Jesus as the one who addresses sin and removes its stain. Its repeated call, Come to the Well, keeps the focus on Christ rather than on human effort. By following the movement of John 4 from thirst to recognition and testimony, the song offers a concise gospel message of truth, mercy, and lasting life.
