WORSHIP DEVOTION 1 of 5
STILL WITH ME
“Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.” The woman answered him, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You are right in saying, ‘I have no husband’; for you have had five husbands, and the one you now have is not your husband. What you have said is true.” The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet”
She comes to the well carrying her story
She arrives at the well in the heat of the day. Not because she wants to, but because it’s safer. Fewer eyes. Fewer whispers. She’s learned how to survive quietly. Her life has been marked by broken relationships, disappointment, and choices that didn’t turn out the way she hoped. Yet she still comes. Still draws water. Still believes tomorrow needs something to sustain it.
This song sits in that tension. Feeling fallen. Feeling forsaken. Yet still showing up. Still doing the daily work of living. Still hoping something might satisfy, even if it hasn’t yet. This is the empty cistern moment. Shame hasn’t stopped her from moving forward, but it has isolated her.
As you listen, let yourself acknowledge where you’ve been carrying water in the heat of the day. Where you’ve been surviving instead of living. And notice this truth quietly forming beneath the song. Even in her brokenness, she still had hope enough to come. And that matters

WORSHIP DEVOTION 2 of 5
“The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming (he who is called Christ). When he comes, he will tell us all things.””
I’LL WAIT FOR YOU
〰️ In the middle of her exposure, she says something astonishing. “I know that Messiah is coming.” Even after disappointment. Even after confusion. Even after unmet expectations. There is still a posture of waiting in her heart.
This song honors the sacred space of waiting. Not passive waiting. Honest waiting. The kind that says, “I don’t have it figured out, but I believe rescue exists.” In a world that pushes instant answers and quick fixes, this song slows us down and reminds us that longing itself is not failure. 〰️

WORSHIP DEVOTION 3 of 5
DWELL WITH ME
““Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.” Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.””
Here, the conversation shifts. No longer about her past. No longer about her shame. Jesus speaks about worship. About spirit and truth. About nearness. Not location. Not performance. Presence.
This song is a prayer. A desire. “Dwell with me.” It’s the moment when emptiness begins to feel like an invitation instead of a punishment. When worship becomes less about getting it right and more about being known.
As you listen, release the idea that you need to earn God’s nearness. Let this song remind you that God is not avoiding your emptiness. He meets people there.

WORSHIP DEVOTION 4 of 5
I SEE YOU
“Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am he.””
This is the moment of revelation. Jesus names Himself. Not vaguely. Not indirectly. Clearly. “I who speak to you am He.” And in that sentence, everything changes.
This song holds the holy weight of being fully seen and not rejected. Known and still chosen. The One she was waiting for is standing in front of her. And He knows her story already.
As you listen, let the Spirit speak this truth to you. You are seen. Not scanned. Not tolerated. Seen. And revelation always invites response.

WORSHIP DEVOTION 5 of 5
COME & SEE
“So the woman left her water jar and went away into town and said to the people, “Come, see a man who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?” They went out of the town and were coming to him.”
She leaves her water jar behind. The very thing she came for no longer defines her. Emptiness has turned into overflow. Shame into testimony. Isolation into invitation.
This song celebrates the natural outflow of encounter. Not obligation. Not performance. Just joy. When someone who was empty discovers living water, they can’t help but tell others where to find it.
🎧 Now press play on the song. Listen with an open heart, and let it speak before you move on.
The EMPTY CISTERN is not where the story ends. It’s where it begins. Emptiness isn’t always a problem to fix. Sometimes it’s a doorway. A clearing. A threshold. A sacred space what feels like loss is actually God making room, and what feels like the end may be the very thing that finally leads us back to ourselves and to God
