EMPTINESS

EMPTINESS

(John 4: 1-42)

 

Unworthy, unholy, an outcast

But the seeker knew my heart

Weary, thirsty, desired to be loved

First, second, third, fourth and fifth

Even to the sixth I wasn’t satisfied

 

There’s a longing that no one can fill

A yearning that nobody can explain

Not with words nor with actions

Hard to fathom yet I know it’s there

Feeling stuck up afraid to burst out

 

But one day He came

Yes, He met me at the well

It was hot, dry, and empty

Yes, I have nothing to offer

But He chose to be there

 

He’s not supposed to talk to me

To come near me it wasn’t okay

But He asked for some water

That though I wished I could

But no, I have nothing to offer

 

But He knew the well was empty

It’s dry just like what’s inside of me

Wished to be satisfied and to satisfy

But the well was empty just like me

Yet in emptiness He wasn’t disappointed

 

For He knew the well was empty

That’s why He came to meet me

For He knew that I have been thirsty

But the well was empty

That’s why He came to fill me

 

He filled the well with truth

An outcast but He searched me out

Though undeserved but to Him I’m worth

For He knew my heart was waiting for Him to fill

So, the well burst out and flows like a river

 

Unstoppable, it overflows and goes everywhere

Untamable expression, you can’t help but hear

The wonders of His wisdom

The greatness of His mercy and grace

 His abounding hope and unfathomable love

John 4: 13-14

13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:

14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
