Madison Ryann Ward - "Open the Well" Lyric Video (Inspired by The Chosen)

A Personal Note from Madison Ryann Ward:

“Writing 'Open The Well' gave me the opportunity to narrate how the exchange might have felt between Jesus and the Samaritan woman we read about in Scripture. Like other Bible characters we relate to, sometimes we see ourselves in that person in Scripture. The story of the woman at the well, however, is the deep calling to deep for my own soul. I may not have had five husbands, but I am still that woman with a past, overcome by love at the realization that I’m fully known and cherished anyway. Something about the story that captured my heart as I wrote this song is how before the encounter, Jesus was a stranger to the woman but never the other way around. Despite this, He revealed Himself to her and accompanied it with encouragement in who she was by acknowledging her. And, that’s a comfort that I also have in Christ. He wants to draw near to me even if or when I might choose to hide or retreat. The beauty of the woman being spoken to directly by Jesus also highlights the value God places on every woman across the world today — no matter her story or status. When the Messiah shows up and meets us exactly where we are, He offers restoration and living water. Knowing that is really refreshing.”

LYRICS
Opened the well 
At the hottest part of the day 
Traveling far, needing water 
She gave Him a drink

You don’t know know me, yeah
Nothing’s ever cleaned my hands 
Need a remedy so I can live again 
Where do I run, where do I run to?

Would you 
Open the well
Open the well
Fill my need 
That is deep within 
‘Cause I know 
If You’re the drink
I won’t thirst again

You opened my heart 
Gave me life oh
