Come to the Well

Come to the well
boldly like the woman
hear the words of Jesus
standing by the waters
speaking power
authority to save us
to give us water
to quench our thirst
as the ones before us
all of us buoyed
by the living waters
the grace of our Savior
the love of our God
going with us
wading in the waters
the living waters of God

“Do you confess Jesus Christ as your Savior,
put your whole trust in his grace, and promise to serve him as
your Lord, in union with the Church which Christ has opened
to people of all ages, nations, and races?”
