Have A Drink Of Water

In the long, hot, thirsty summer of about 32 A.D.

Along a dusty highway, there came a man of Galilee

And as he went through Samaria, he stopped at Jacob's well

And there he met a woman whose deep secrets he would tell



"Could I have a drink of water?", Soft and quietly asked he

And she said, "Sir, I'm Samaritan, how dare you speak to me?"

He said, "If you would ask of me than either son of man

Would give you living water and you'd never thirst again?



Have a drink of water, everlastin' livin' water

Have a drink of water, everlastin' livin' water

Dip in' to the endless well, pour it on the fires of hell

Have a drink and sing and shout as the flames of hell go out

Have a drink of water, everlastin', endless water



Then the woman said, "Sir, you have no way to draw out of this well

Our father Jacob dug it and the stories it could tell

From this well drank his children and his kettle by the score

Where is your well, Sir, tell me, that will flow forever more"



And he answered and said, "Unto her your water will go dry

And my well is everlastin', if you drink you'll never die?

My father God's a spirit and he set me under men

To give you living water so you'll never thirst again



Have a drink of water, everlastin' livin' water

Have a drink of water, everlastin' livin' water

Dip in' to the endless well, pour it on the fires of hell

Have a drink and sing and shout as the flames of hell go out

Have a drink of water, everlastin' livin' water



Well, there now are many thirstin' in this modern century

Whose thirst could be quenched quickly by the man from Galilee

For the water flows eternal from the well that never dries

For it flows right out of Heaven where the soul never dies



So if you're hot and tired and thirstin'

And if you crave a cool, tall drink

He will pour it right out for you a lot quicker than you think

He already knows you're thirsty so just let him come on in

And he'll give you livin' water and you'll never thirst again



Have a drink of water, everlastin' livin' water

Have a drink of water, everlastin' livin' water

Dip in' to the endless well, pour it on the fires of hell

Have a drink and sing and shout as the flames of hell go out

Have a drink of water, everlastin' livin' water



Have a drink of water, everlastin' livin' water, bro

Have a drink of water, ever last

Clap your hands and sing and shout
