TikTok Phenom Olivia Lane Brings the Bible to Live with "Woman at the Well"
TikTok phenom and genre bending artist Olivia Lane brings the story of Jesus meeting the woman at the well in John 4 to live with her song "Woman at the Well." In a matter of 24 hours within the release of the song on social media, "Woman at the Well" received 250,000 views, 68,000 likes & 1400 pre-saves.
Lane was raised in a musical household. Her mother was a local Texas country singer and helped foster Lane's passion for music. "I always had music pumping through my veins," she recalls. The singer-songwriter's love of music found her embracing musical theater at a young age where she first starred in a production of Grease.
Later, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting. She graduated from the University of Southern California where she studied theater and songwriting. "I loved being in front of people. I loved entertaining. I loved making people feel happy from a really young age," she says cheerfully. "I remember taking songwriting at USC my sophomore year and it felt like I found where I fit. So, I decided I needed to go to Nashville because that's where I felt called."
After years of writing, recording and performing, Lane's path took a dark turn in 2017 when the anxiety and stress she'd put herself through had taken its toll. "I literally lost my voice. I knew music was my calling, but somehow I'd lost myself. I had to remember who I was," she says. "What I've learned is it takes some dark moments to find the light again. Now I feel centered in every way, and you know what? I wouldn't change a thing."
Here are the lyrics:
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
Yeah, 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 (when I read it)
'Cause I've seen Him 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
