Jesus Culture - Endless Well / Show Me Your Face Lyrics
Lyrics
Thank You
I won't leave thirsty
This land I'm living in belongs to You
I won't leave empty
My weakness makes a place for You to move
I won't leave thirsty
This land I'm living in belongs to You
I won't leave empty
My weakness makes a place for You to move
I drink from an endless well
I drink from an endless well
I drink from an endless well
You never run dry
So, neither will I
You never left me
Your faithfulness has stood the test of time
You're always healing
You meet every need. So, let my faith arise
I drink from an endless well
I drink from an endless well
I drink from an endless well
You never run dry
So, neither will I
Oh, Jesus
This is
Freedom
Come refill, we are Yours
Every lack, You restore
Heaven is an open door
Come refill, we are Yours
Every lack, You restore
Heaven is an open door
Come refill, we are Yours
Every lack, You restore
Heaven is an open door
Come refill, we are Yours
Every lack, You restore
Heaven is an open door
I drink from an endless well
I drink from an endless well
This is who You are, God
I drink from an endless well
You never run dry
So, neither will I
Declare
I drink from an endless well
This is who You are
I drink from an endless well
You're faithful, faithful
I drink from an endless well
You never run dry
So, neither will I
Show me Your face
Show me Your face
In this
In this holy place
Show me Your face
Your power and grace
I will make it to the end
If I could just see Your face

Meaning & Inspiration
The song "Endless Well / Show Me Your Face" by Jesus Culture, featured in an official live video released on July 2, 2024, offers a profound exploration of God's inexhaustible nature and the worshiper's desire for intimate encounter. The lyrics begin with a declaration of dependence and belonging, asserting "This land I'm living in belongs to You," signifying surrender and trust in God's sovereignty over one's life circumstances. The recognition of weakness ("My weakness makes a place for You to move") highlights a core theme of Christian faith where vulnerability creates space for divine intervention and strength. The repeated affirmation "I won't leave thirsty," "I won't leave empty" immediately establishes the central metaphor of God as the source of all provision, satisfying every need.
The image of drinking from an "endless well" is the heart of the first section. This vivid metaphor portrays God as an unending source of life, sustenance, and spiritual fulfillment. It stands in stark contrast to finite human resources and temporary solutions. The declarative statement, "I drink from an endless well," is not just a passive observation but an active choice to draw from this divine source. This concept resonates deeply with biblical imagery, such as Jesus offering "living water" in John 4:14, which promises that those who drink will never thirst again. The lyrics further reinforce God's consistent nature: "You never left me / Your faithfulness has stood the test of time," and His active role in meeting needs: "You're always healing / You meet every need. So, let my faith arise." This builds confidence in God's character, linking His eternal faithfulness to the present reality of answered prayer and provision, echoing promises like Philippians 4:19, "my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus." The powerful conclusion to this declaration, "You never run dry / So, neither will I," is a bold statement of identity and empowerment derived directly from God's nature; because He is inexhaustible, the believer connected to Him shares in that flow and will not run dry in spirit or resource.
Following this foundational declaration of God's provision, the song introduces the interjection "Oh, Jesus / This is / Freedom." This suggests that experiencing God as the endless well, the faithful provider who meets every need, leads directly to a state of spiritual freedom. The subsequent lines, "Come refill, we are Yours / Every lack, You restore / Heaven is an open door," act as both an invitation and an acknowledgement. It's an invitation for God to continue pouring into His people, recognizing their ownership by Him ("we are Yours"). It's an acknowledgement that God fully restores everything that is lacking, and that access to His presence and resources is unrestricted ("Heaven is an open door"), perhaps referencing the tearing of the temple veil or Jesus's work providing access to the Father. The repetition of these lines emphasizes the constant need for divine replenishment and the constant availability of God's grace and restoration.
The song then transitions to the "Show Me Your Face" section, shifting the focus from God's provision *for* us to a desire *for* God Himself. The repeated plea, "Show me Your face," expresses a deep longing for direct, unhindered encounter with the divine presence. In scripture, seeing God's face often symbolizes experiencing His favor, glory, power, and intimate presence (e.g., Psalm 27:8, "Seek his face!"). It's a request for more than just blessings or provision; it's a yearning for the source of the blessings. The addition of "Your power and grace" in conjunction with "Show me Your face" indicates that encountering God directly reveals His strength and unmerited favor. The line "In this / In this holy place" suggests that such an encounter is sought within the context of worship or a dedicated space of spiritual reverence, acknowledging God's inherent holiness. The concluding line of this section, "I will make it to the end / If I could just see Your face," ties endurance and perseverance not to personal strength or circumstances, but to the transformative and sustaining power of encountering God's presence. It echoes the idea that seeing God provides the strength and perspective needed to overcome challenges and complete the journey of faith.
Together, the "Endless Well" and "Show Me Your Face" sections present a holistic picture of the worshiper's relationship with God. First, there is the confident trust in God's abundant nature and reliable provision, establishing security and identity. This foundation then fuels a deeper hunger for intimacy – a desire to move beyond just receiving *from* God to knowing and encountering *Him* more fully. The live setting captured in the official video likely enhances the sense of corporate declaration and heartfelt longing conveyed in these lyrics, inviting listeners into a shared experience of dependence on the Endless Well and pursuit of God's revealed presence.
