The woman at the well

I met him

By the well

He was sitting all alone

I had come to draw some water

And to carry it back home

He looked at me, with loving eyes

so different from the rest

And spoke to me, to my surprise,

put my faith to the test

He said

Could I have a drink

From deep Jacob’s well?

Draw some water up

a cupfull would be swell

And if you ask me for a drink

I’ll answer you with haste

Take a drink of living water

the best you’ll ever taste

He talked with me for quite a while

Samaritan with Jew

It wasn’t supposed to be like that

my heart was racing too

He saw my sins and broken life

And loved me like I am

He says he is the promised one

and I believe in him!

Could I have a drink

From deep Jacob’s well?

Draw some water up

a cupfull would be swell

And if you ask me for a drink

I’ll answer you with haste

Take a drink of living water

the best you’ll ever taste

His friends came walking back from town

With food that they had found

Saw him talking to me there

And placed it on the ground

How could he talk to me like that

a woman full of pain

But every word he spoke to me

Came flowing down like rain

Could I have a drink

From deep Jacob’s well?

Draw some water up

a cupfull would be swell

And if you ask me for a drink

I’ll answer you with haste

Take a drink of living water

the best you’ll ever taste
