Kingdom Heirs - Come To The Well Lyrics
Lyrics
Sun beating down never been hotter
She headed to the well to draw a little water
When she met a man who asked her for a drink
Next thing she knew the two got to talking
About what was missing in the bucket she was drawing
And what He said changed everything
Now the story's going round
She told everyone in town
Come to the well of living water
Just one taste satisfies and if you're running dry
Come to the well of living water
Come and drink your fill my friend and never thirst again
There was a time life was like a desert
It's been years but oh I remember
The moment Jesus cleansed my sin-sick soul
And now my heart has great joy in knowing
A spring is rising up and overflowing
And I'm telling everybody everywhere I go
Come to the well of living water
Just one taste satisfies and if you're running dry
Come to the well of living water
Come and drink your fill my friend and never thirst again
Come to the well
It's a cleansing fountain, A healing stream
All are welcome, taste and see
Just one sip is all you'll need
Come to the well of living water
Just one taste satisfies and if you're running dry
Come to the well of living water
Come and drink your fill my friend and never thirst again
Come to the well of living water
Just one taste satisfies and if you're running dry
Come to the well of living water
Come and drink your fill my friend and never thirst again
Come to the well
Come to the well

Meaning & Inspiration
Kingdom Heirs’ "Come To The Well," released in 2019 as part of their album *Everything in Between*, is a powerful anthem that masterfully weaves a familiar biblical narrative into a compelling invitation for spiritual renewal. The song draws directly from the profound encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well, a pivotal moment in the Gospel of John (John 4:1-42). This encounter, as depicted in the lyrics, transcends its historical context to become a timeless metaphor for spiritual thirst and the ultimate satisfaction found in Christ. The narrative begins by painting a vivid picture of physical exhaustion and unmet need, mirroring the woman’s arduous task of drawing water under the beating sun. It highlights the transformative power of Jesus’ approach; He didn't just offer physical water but engaged her in a conversation that exposed the emptiness in her life, the "what was missing in the bucket she was drawing." This speaks directly to the human condition, the deep-seated longing that material things or worldly pursuits can never truly fulfill, a theme echoed in Ecclesiastes 1:8, which states, "All things are wearisome, all words unutterable. The eye never has enough of seeing, nor the ear its fill of hearing."
The chorus, "Come to the well of living water, just one taste satisfies and if you're running dry," is the heart of the song's message, a direct echo of Jesus' own words to the woman: "But whoever drinks from the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life" (John 4:14). This "living water" is not mere H2O; it represents the Holy Spirit and the transformative grace of God that quenches the soul's deepest desires. The lyrics then shift to a personal testimony, reflecting the singer's own experience of spiritual dryness before encountering Jesus. This transition from narrative to personal reflection mirrors the Samaritan woman’s own journey from skepticism to evangelism, as she immediately went to tell others about the man who knew everything about her, leading many to believe in Him. The line, "And now my heart has great joy in knowing, a spring is rising up and overflowing, and I'm telling everybody everywhere I go," encapsulates the profound impact of salvation, transforming a barren existence into a life of abundant joy and an uncontainable desire to share that good news.
The bridge further illuminates the nature of this divine source: "It's a cleansing fountain, A healing stream. All are welcome, taste and see." This imagery resonates with Old Testament prophecies, such as Ezekiel 36:25: "I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols." It emphasizes the redemptive and restorative power of God's love, offering a fresh start and healing for wounded spirits. The repeated invitation to "come and drink your fill, my friend, and never thirst again" is a universal call to anyone feeling depleted, lost, or searching for meaning. It’s an assurance that true and lasting satisfaction is not found in fleeting worldly comforts but in the inexhaustible wellspring of God's presence. The Kingdom Heirs have crafted a song that is not only musically uplifting but deeply theological, reminding listeners that the invitation extended at Jacob's well is still open today, offering an eternal solution to our deepest needs.
