Living Water

She came at noon to the well all alone
With heavy steps and a heart of stone
A stranger stood there, weary from His way
He asked her for a drink that day

She wondered why He'd speak to her at all
A man, a Jew, when barriers stood tall
But His words carried a deeper grace
And in His eyes, she saw a trace

Of, that living water
A stream that flows where souls confer
He knew her thirst, her broken past
Yet promised a love that would forever last
Oh, living water, He spoke with light
Quenching her soul with eternal life

He told her of a day soon to come
When worship won't be bound to place or tongue
Spirit and truth would rise and reign
A kingdom born beyond earthly gain

She asked, "Could this be the promised One
The Messiah we've waited, God's own Son?"
He said, "I am He, the One you seek"
And hope began to flood the weak

With that, living water
A stream that flows where souls confer
He knew her thirst, her broken past
Yet promised a love that would forever last
Oh, living water, He spoke with light
Quenching her soul with eternal life

She ran to the town, her shame cast aside
"I've met a man who knows my life
Could He be the Christ, the One we await?"
And they came to see their hearts' true fate

For that, living water
A stream that flows where souls confer
He knew her thirst, her broken past
Yet promised a love that would forever last
Oh, living water, He gives us Living Water
As he is the lamb, next for the slaughter
