Olivia Lane's song 'Woman At The Well' retells the biblical story of the Samaritan woman at the well, connecting it to her own experience of feeling broken and unworthy. She describes drinking wine alone, feeling unloved, and then encountering Jesus who meets her in her lowest moment, turning her emptiness into living water. The song emphasizes that grace is amazing because God accepts us as we are, even when we cannot love ourselves. It moves from hearing a Bible story as a child to personally experiencing God's love and forgiveness.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

I heard a story from the Bible

When I was just a little girl

About a broken hearted woman     

Who met the savior of the world

 

Thought it was just another story

One that the preacher man would read

But as I?m sittin? here at home 

Drinkin? red wine all alone

I think that woman might be me 

 

Cause tonight I feel just like

The woman at the well 

Wondering how someone could love me

When I can?t love myself

But you want me as I am and that sounds crazy

I guess maybe that?s why grace is so amazing

 

Staring at that empty bottle

I swear I caught a glimpse of Him

He met me right there at the bottom and

Turned that wine to living water

And taught me how to love again

 

Cause tonight I feel just like

The woman at the well 

Wondering how someone could love me

When I can?t love myself

But you want me as I am and that sounds crazy

I guess maybe that?s why grace is so amazing

 

It?s no longer just a story when I read it   

?Cause I?ve seen it for myself and I believe it        

 

Cause tonight I feel just like

The woman at the well 

Wondering how someone could love me

When I can?t love myself

But you want me as I am and that sounds crazy

I guess maybe that?s why grace is so amazing

 

Just like the story from the Bible

I heard when I was just a girl

I'm the broken hearted woman     

Who met the savior of the world
