Jacob's Well
Quenching the Soul: Finding Life's Stream at Jacob's Well
Lyrics
Now this old world wants to bleed me dry
Feeling drained and depleted by the challenges of life.
Like a desert wind through a cloudless sky
Experiencing difficulties akin to a harsh, dry desert wind.
No relief from the heat, no shade I find
Unable to find relief or respite from the intense heat.
No sign of water, but the tears I've cried
Facing a scarcity of essential nourishment, represented by a lack of water, and expressing emotional pain through tears.
So I will go to Jacob's well
Turning to a metaphorical "Jacob's well" for a solution or source of sustenance.
To fill my cup with living water
Seeking to replenish one's spirit with "living water" from an unending stream.
From the stream that has no end
Emphasizing the eternal nature of the source of sustenance.
And I will thirst again no more
Anticipating freedom from future thirst after finding this spiritual nourishment.
It's a long hard journey, all the pain it brings
Acknowledging the challenges of life's journey and the accompanying pain.
Try to quench my yearnings with material things
Attempting to fulfill inner needs with material possessions.
But I'm only wondering through a wilderness
Describing life as a wilderness, a place of uncertainty and searching.
My soul's still searching for a place to rest

Don't listen to the lies going through your head
Advising against being swayed by deceptive thoughts and falsehoods.
Nothing else is going to satisfy

Drink the water that will bring you life
