From the recording He Saw Me At The Well
“He Saw Me at the Well” is a desert-folk worship ballad that braids together two powerful well encounters: Hagar at Beer-lahai-roi and the Samaritan woman at Jacob’s well. With ancient Hebrew atmosphere, frame drums, flutes, horns, and gospel-inspired vocals, the song proclaims that the God who saw the outcast in the wilderness is the Messiah who still offers living water to the thirsty, broken, exiled, and overlooked.

Two wells, two women, one God who sees: Hagar’s Beer-lahai-roi meets the Samaritan’s Jacob’s well. The Messiah who first came to Israel still offers living water to every exile.
[Intro]
Dm C/E F Gm | Dm C Bb
[Verse 1] – Hagar’s Spring
Dm C/E F Gm
Runaway slave in the desert heat, tears on the burning sand;
Dm C/E Bb A7
Angel of Yahweh found her there, child within her hand.
Dm C/E F Gm
“Name this place Beer-lahai-roi, God Who Sees My face,”
Dm C/E Bb A7
Promised her a living line, water for the race.

[Pre-Chorus]
Gm Am7 Bb F/A
From a spring in the waste He spoke mercy’s plan—
Gm Dm/A Bb A7
Water for the outcast, hope for every man.
[Chorus A]
Dm C/E F Gm
He saw me at the well, when I feared I was alone;
Dm C/E Bb A7
Poured living water in the heat of my unknown.
Dm C/E F Gm
Shame cannot outrun Him, and thirst cannot rebel;
Dm C/E Bb A7 Dm
God Who sees the outcast meets me at the well.
[Verse 2] – Samaritan Well
Dm C/E F Gm
Noonday sun on ancient stones, bucket in her hand;
Dm C/E Bb A7
Five scars deep inside her heart, shunned throughout the land.
Dm C/E F Gm
Jewish Stranger asked for drink, broke the unseen line;
Dm C/E Bb A7
Offered her a fountain spring, gift of life divine.

[Pre-Chorus]
Gm Am7 Bb F/A
Same voice that met Hagar now speaks again—
Gm Dm/A Bb A7
Water for the broken, hope for every clan.
[Chorus B] – House of Israel first
Dm C/E F Gm
He came to Jacob’s fold—lost sheep of Israel;
Dm C/E Bb A7
Opened wide the shepherd gate, where Gentile story fell.
Dm C/E F Gm
Now every tribe can enter, where covenant rivers swell;
Dm C/E Bb A7 Dm
God Who sees the nations meets us at the well.

[Bridge] – Two Wells, One River
Gm F/A Bb C
Beer-lahai-roi, Jacob’s well, merge into one flow;
Gm Dm/A Bb A7
Springs of sight and mercy heal the world below.
Gm F/A Bb C
Call the thirsty daughters, call the exiled sons;
Gm Dm/A Bb A7
Living water rising till the Bride and Spirit run.

[Final Chorus]
Dm C/E F Gm
He sees me at the well, and His river never ends;
Dm C/E Bb A7
Grace for every Hagar, hope for Samaritan friends.
Dm C/E F Gm
Drink, you who are thirsty; hear the Spirit tell:
Dm C/E Bb A7 Dm
God Who sees the outcast loves us at the well.
