[C#] [G#] Welcome to the New Song Cafe at worshiptogether.com.
Today we're here with Mark and Juwan from Casting Crowns and they're going to be showing
us their new song, The Well.
So sit back, relax and enjoy this new song cafe.
Mark, Juwan, welcome.
Thanks, bro.
It's good to be here down in Atlanta at your home church.
Yeah, man.
It's been a while since we've taped any of these.
I know.
[N] This is where we lead worship every Sunday.
Sunday morning we lead 11 o'clock service and then at church at 5 we just started.
So this is where we do it every week.
That's awesome.
You guys are doing all you're doing out on the road and still making it a priority to
be back at church on Sundays.
At the end of the day, Casting Crowns is a season that God started, but the church has
always been what we're about and what we'll still be doing.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, that's awesome.
You've got to keep the main thing the main thing.
There's no next level to the church.
If you're singing your songs to the church, you're doing what God's called you to do.
If God decides he wants other people to hear it, that's fine, but you can't look at that
as some new level.
There's just not one.
That's a good word.
That's solid right there.
We're here listening to a song called The Well today.
Yeah.
Come to the Well is the title of the new album.
Come to the Well is the title of the record and the title of a book I just finished.
It's really just the story of the woman at the well that just really got under me, got
into my skin a couple years back.
God was just showing me that just like this lady was counting on well water that could
never seem to quench her thirst, neither could the five marriages that she'd had and everything
else she'd searched for, Jesus was telling her, everything you're feeding on is leaving you thirsty.
Just come to me first.
Even as a worship leader, there's a lot of things we draw from to keep us going.
Number one meaning, does the crowd like the songs?
They're with me.
That makes you feel like a great worship leader or it makes you feel like I'm doing what God
called me to do.
If you're feeding on your people, you're going to be thirsty soon because one day you're
going to go out there and they're going to look at you like, what language are you singing?
I don't know this song.
When you walk out there thinking, this is the song that's going to change our lives.
There's like crickets, crickets.
One way to know that you draw from people is how you leave that moment.
If you leave totally deflated, there's a chance you're drawn from something other than Jesus.
You got to go to Jesus first.
That's what the record and the book is about.
This song we did in church on a Sunday morning, which is a little unusual for us because it's
not necessarily a vertical type worship song.
For some reason, the truth of what was being sung and the chorus being laid out like it
is very singable.
The crowd just sort of went with us.
It's sort of become a song we've started doing in church.
It's sort of a teaching song.
I guess that Psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs verse, I guess this would be a spiritual song.
Somehow God can still use [G] it.
That's awesome.
We'd love to hear it.
Yeah, dude.
Let's do it.
Let's just do like a first verse and chorus.
[C] [G]
[C] [G] I have what you need, but you keep on searching.
I've done all the work, but you keep on working.
When you're running [D] on empty and you [C] can't find the remedy, just come [G] to the well.
You can spend your whole life chasing what's missing, but that [Em] empty inside, it just ain't
gonna listen when [D] nothing can satisfy and the [C] world leaves you high and dry.
Just [G] come to the well, yeah.
And [C] all who thirst will thirst [G] no more.
And [C] all who search will find [G] what their souls [D] long for.
And the [Am] world will try, but it [Em] can never fail.
So leave it [C] all behind [D] and [G] come to the well.
It sort of [C] starts walking [G] through just life [D] situations and saying, [G] man, you can try to
draw from your job, but you're gonna be thirsty.
You can try to draw from your marriage, but understand the reason marriages aren't working
is because we're trying to draw from a person and that's not why they were created.
Jesus completes you.
The line in the movie, you complete me.
Jesus completes me.
I pour into Melanie.
That's the way it's supposed to work.
So it's a little reminder of that.
Yeah, I mean, I was just thinking while you were playing it, it's a really like kind of
upbeat little creative way you could do an invitation even.
Rather than just sing Just As I Am for the 400th time.
You know what, as a matter of fact, we're wrapping up.
Goody, you're good.
Because we're wrapping the tour up because we're singing the song in the well earlier
in the night, but just play it kind of soft like we were doing.
I like changing [E] the key.
Oh yeah, we key it down for the
We key it down.
If it's too loud, you can't
[G#] It's in an arrange where you can't sing it.
I'm not that awesome a singer, [E] so if I'm singing the note, I got to yell [A] it pretty much.
So if we lower [E] it, you can sing it a little nicer and the crowd can come along with you.
[A] And all who thirst will thirst no [E] more.
And [A] all who search will find [E] what their souls [B] long for.
[E] And the [C#m] world will try, but it [F#m] can never fail.
That's a new [N] chord too.
I like that.
It's so light.
But that's the [F#m] idea.
It goes up.
[C#m] Good [G] thing we rehearsed it so long.
Yeah, [E] you're right.
So whether you're doing it in G, E, anywhere in between, just kind of show us the basics of the
Yeah, [G] well, I'll start out.
I'll go with G.
Yeah, yeah.
But the key of worship.
The key of worship.
I hang on to that six right there, so if you move in, you get to the G to the E minor,
you just drop your middle finger, curl it up so it doesn't look bad.
So you got the G to the E, [Em] then the C, [D] [G] to the D, and then back to the G.
So you just hang on to that.
These chords aren't used very much in music too, so it's pretty cutting edge.
So it's kind of hard to catch those.
And the chorus, you got an A [Am] minor in there, which is
[Em] And then the E minor.
[Am] So it goes, the world will try, but [Em] it can never fail.
So leave it [C] all [D] behind.
[G] Curl up to the world.
The other thing is on a second verse, you heard me grab a little second G2 in there.
And I'm just hammering on and pulling off as I said.
Then on the E minor, I'm just doing the same note, but switching things.
So if you're doing it just acoustic, it gives a little bit of flavor in there.
It's [G#] not so straight ahead the whole time.
You're saying that my verse is like straight ahead.
Just the chords.
Just say what you think.
The melody sings over that.
No, just lay it right out there.
The cameras aren't on.
You can say it.
It keeps it a little soft, you know.
And otherwise very
No, I'm just kidding.
Well, that's awesome.
I'm excited for people to hear it.
Excited for people to sing it.
We appreciate it, man.
Thanks a lot.
Yeah, man.
Thank you, bro.
It's [C#] all who search and will search [G#] no more.
It's all who [C#] search and will find [G#] what their soul's [N] longing for.
