Lyrics to "Come To The Well" by Casting Crowns

Another couple years and another Casting Crowns album. As usual their latest album, "Come To The Well", sounds like all their other albums, but I still like it! I do like the first single "Courageous" too. Sure, they may not be the world's greatest songwriters, but they always put out catchy, worshipful music. Luckily they had Matthew West helping them write a number of the songs.

01. Courageous
02. City On The Hill
03. Jesus, Friend Of Sinners
04. Already There
05. The Well
06. Spirit Wind
07. Just Another Birthday
08. Wedding Day
09. Angel
10. My Own Worst Enemy
11. Face Down
12. So Far To Find You

01. Courageous

02. City On The Hill

by Mark Hall and Matthew West

Did you hear of the city on the hill?
Said one old man to the other
It once shined bright and it would be shining still
But they all started turning on each other

You see, the poets thought the dancers were shallow
And the soldiers thought the poets were weak
And the elders saw the young ones as foolish
And the rich man never heard the poor man speak

And one by one, they ran away
With their made-up minds to leave it all behind
And the light began to fade in the city on the hill
The city on the hill

Each one thought that they knew better
But they were different by design
Instead of standing strong together
They let their differences divide

And one by one, they ran away
With their made-up minds to leave it all behind
And the light began to fade in the city on the hill
The city on the hill

And the world is searching still

But it was the rhythm of the dancers
That gave the poets life
It was the spirit of the poets
That gave the soldiers strength to fight
It was the fire of the young ones
It was the wisdom of the old
It was the story of the poor man
That needed to be told

It is the rhythm of the dancers
That gives the poets life
It is the spirit of the poets
That gives the soldiers strength to fight
It is the fire of the young ones
It is the wisdom of the old
It is the story of the poor man
That's needing to be told

One by one, we'll be run away
With our made-up minds to leave it all behind
As the light begins to fade in the city on the hill

One by one, we'll be run away
With our made-up minds to leave it all behind
As the light begins to fade in the city on the hill
The city on the hill

Come home
And the Father's calling still
Come home to the city on the hill
Come home

03. Jesus, Friend of Sinners

04. Already There

by Mark Hall, Matthew West and Bernie Herms

From where I'm standing
Lord, it's so hard for me to see
Where this is going
And where You're leading me
I wish I knew how
All my fears and all my questions
Are going to play out
In a world I can't control

Whoa, Whoa

When I'm lost in the mystery
To You my future is a memory

'Cause You're already there
You're already there
Standing at the end of my life
Waiting on the other side
And You're already there
You're already there

From where You're standing
Lord, You see a grand design
That You imagined
When You breathed me into life
And all the chaos
Comes together in Your hands
Like a masterpiece
Of Your picture-perfect plan

When I'm lost in the mystery
To You my future is a memory

'Cause You're already there
You're already there
Standing at the end of my life
Waiting on the other side
And You're already there
You're already there

One day I'll stand before You
And look back on the life I've lived
I can't wait to enjoy the view
And see how all the pieces fit

One day I'll stand before You
And look back on the life I've lived
I can't wait to enjoy the view
And see how all the pieces fit

One day I'll stand before You
And look back on the life I've lived
'Cause You're already there
You're already there
When I'm lost in the mystery
To You my future is a memory
'Cause You're already there
You're already there
Standing at the end of my life
Waiting on the other side

And You're already there
You're already there

You're already there

05. The Well

12. So Far To Find You
