Once a woman seeking
Em
water at a
C
well not far from
G
home
Met a thirsty, waiting
Em
stranger from a
C
people not her
G
own.
Would she
D
give a drink of
Em
water and
G
respond to
Em
human
C
need?
Could she
G
know the joy and
Em
wonder she, the
C
giver, would re
G
-ceive?
G
She drew water for the
Em
thirsty, Jesus
C
offered something
G
more
Living water, God's own
Em
mercy, love a
C
-bundant, freely
G
poured.
One, a
D
blessing for the
Em
body, one,
G
a blessing
Em
for the
C
soul!
Both are
G
gifts of our Cre
Em
-ator — gifts that
C
help to make us
G
whole.
G
Still God's people carry
Em
water from their
C
wells and mountain
G
streams
Still at rivers women
Em
gather, sharing
C
labor, sharing
G
dreams.
Still a
D
cup of water
Em
given in
G
a dry and
Em
weary
C
place
Is a
G
blessing over
Em
-flowing from the
C
fountain of God's
G
grace.
G
God, we ask your richest
Em
favor on the
C
work we seek to
G
do
May we gladly share clean
Em
water and your
C
living water,
G
too.
May we
D
see the face of
Em
Jesus, and
G
how far your
Em
love ex
C
-tends,
In the
G
ones we call our
Em
partners — no more
C
strangers, now our
G
friends.
