WOMEN AT THE WELL

(written by Kenneth Cope & Vickey Pahnke)

 

Woman at the well

Your water jar to fill

A life of hidden grieving

Just trying to satisfy your daily needing

 

A Stranger at the well

With water in Himself

Draws near to you with love

And offers life that you know nothing of

 

Still, you hear

Then believe

Quench your thirst

At His feet

You become, in truth, a woman at the Well

 

Women at the Well

Knew more than tongue would tell

Held fast to all He said

Saw sons and daughters raised up from the dead

Choosing light

Teaching faith

Magnified by His grace

Heaven’s highest praise—these women at the Well

 

Our Father gave to us the Living Well

With Water sent to strengthen, cleanse and heal

 

Come, women, to the Well

Drink deep and get your fill

And then, with cup o’erflowing

Take Jesus’ hand and help Him do His pouring

That all may hear

And believe

Quench their thirst at His feet

There is more than tongue can tell

Let’s fill the fountain in ourselves

Till all women live as women at the Well
