Lyrics

Verse 1:
The noonday sun had reached its appointed destination
She drew water at this hour to avoid humiliation
If the women of the town saw her they’d ridicule and scorn
For the sinful life she’d led left her forsaken and forlorn
Approaching Jacob’s well she saw there sat a Jewish man
He talked of a living water that she would never thirst again
Her sinful life melted into Jesus righteousness
She ran into the city testifying of His Grace
Chorus:
She left home with her bucket; but she brought back the well
Once your touched by the Master; that empty vessel He will fill
More than she ever expected more than words could ever tell
She left home with her bucket; but she brought back the well
Verse 2:
Now you may think that you are in a hopeless situation
If right now you met your maker
He’d have no choice but condemnation
Living for yourself you’ll surely pay the devils’ price
It’s time you gave the Savior your wounded broken selfish life
He’ll wash you in the water of His blessed Holy Word
On the cross He bought your pardon
it’s paid In full just rest assured
Your guilty past with His precious blood He will erase
Like that woman you can’t keep from testifyin’ of His grace
Repeat Chorus
Tag:
She left home with her bucket; but she brought back the well
She brought back the well!

She Brought Back The Well
