He Met Her at the Well

Lyrics

Written by Carl Hicks Jr. / SESAC

[Chorus – Full Choir, Slow and Soulful]
He met her at the well
He met her at the well
She came looking for water
But He knew her story well

She carried hidden questions
She carried private pain
But Jesus spoke with mercy
And called her by her name

He met her at the well
He met her at the well
She came with an empty vessel
And left with living water

[Bridge – Warm Stacked Harmonies]
Give Me to drink
Give Me to drink

She said, "You have nothing
To draw with from this well"

Jesus said, "The water
That I shall give

Will become a fountain
Springing into life"

Living water
Living water

You will never
Thirst again

[Chorus – Rising Strings and Restrained Brass Hits]
He met her at the well
He met her at the well
She tried to change the subject
But He knew her story well

He spoke about her history
Without throwing one stone

She finally met somebody
Who knew her and stayed close

He met her at the well
He met her at the well
She came avoiding people
But left to tell the city

[Bridge – Dynamic Choir Changes]
I know
Messiah cometh

When He comes
He will tell us all things

Jesus said
"I that speak unto thee

I am He
I am He"

Truth stood
Before her

Grace spoke
Directly to her

She left the vessel
She found what she needed

[Repetitive Run – Slow-Burning Choir Pocket]
Living water
Living water

Give me
Living water

Living water
Living water

Let it rise
Within me

She left the jar
She left the jar

She left the jar
Beside the well

She found a voice
She found a voice

Then ran back
To the city

Come see a man
Come see a man

Who told me
All I ever did

Come see a man
Come see a man

Is not this
The Christ?

He knew her
He stayed there

He saw her
He loved her

He told her
The whole truth

And mercy
Did not leave her

[Choir Run – Powerful Layered Harmonies]
She came alone
She left with a message

She came ashamed
She left as a witness

She came for water
She found the Messiah

She brought the city
Back to the Savior

Many believed
Because she testified

Many believed
When they heard Him themselves

Now we know
Now we believe

This is indeed
The Savior of the world

[Outro – Full Orchestra, Controlled Choir]
The vessel stayed waiting
But her soul had been filled

The woman once hiding
Was standing revealed

She ran through the city
With freedom in her voice

The One who knew everything
Had still made her His choice

He met her at the well
He met her at the well

[Final Choir Hit]
Come see a man!
