Left the Jar

Sixth-hour sun, I walk alone

Keeping time with the whispers I own

Five vows folded into drawers

Five rings that never fit anymore

Papers signed, promises thin

Rooms gone quiet where love should have been

I came to hide where no one stays

And You asked me for a drink that day

You traced my truth without a knife

Named the cracks in a rivered life

Smoke of my past in open air

And still Your eyes kept mercy there

I can't make this heart whole on my own

Pour living water over these bones

And when Your truth broke open my guard

I ran… I ran… and left the jar

(low ah—ah—ah… left the jar)

You crossed the lines we drew so tight

A man, a Jew my people's fight

No mountain war, no temple pride

The Father seeks the heart inside

Not empty wells or borrowed creeds

But Spirit and truth for desert needs

You speak with Him, You said to me

The Christ I waited for was You, set free

I can't make this heart whole on my own

Pour living water over these bones

And when Your truth broke open my guard

I ran I ran and left the jar

(ah ah ah left the jar)

We chase the rush that fades by night

We scroll the ache to dodge the light

We hold our jars like they can save

But all they carry is thirst we crave

If we lay down what could not fill

And bring our thirst, our fractured will

The One who waits at noon still says

I'll be your Spring for all your days

We can't make these hearts whole on our own

Pour living water over these bones

Truth in the open, shame unbarred

We run we run and leave the jar

(ah ah ah left the jar)

Mmm living water

I left the jar
