WOMAN AT THE WELL

by edward potts

I am the woman He met at the well,
My life was in shambles, I was living in hell,
He asked for a drink and I filled a cup,
He talked and I listened as He tilted it up.

He told of my life and what it had been,
He knew all about my living in sin,
He spoke so gently, my heart almost burst,
"Drink of my water and you'll never more thirst."

He said His Father on heaven's throne above,
Looked down on this world with a heart full of love,
No price was to great, no life was too small,
So in loving kindness, God was giving His all.

"You've heard of Messiah, well I am the One,
I am called Jesus, God's only Son,
It's to people like you my Father sent me,
Drink from My cup, I'll set you free."

I rushed from the well and ran into town,
I called for the people to gather around,
"There's a man at the well who says Messiah has come,
He told me my life, every thing I had done."

I went to the well a woman in sin,
When I left that well I had Jesus within,
The curse on my lips had been changed into praise,
I'll never more thirst the rest of my days.

That Man at the well, His praises I'll sing,
I drank of the water, new life it did bring,
My life which was empty is now full and free,
Because of that water God's Son gave to me.
