Watered Way

('Once, only once, and once for all')

John 4 v.13-14

********

John's Gospel Series (4)

 

Come to me, for living water

I shall give to you sure

Says Jesus, and who drinks this pure

Water, shall thirst ne'ermore

 

We drink of water natural

It needed here by all

A human need, we die without

It, here is not a doubt

 

And who drinks of such water-well

Shall thirst again, they tell

Of their need for further supply

Daily need by and by

 

But whosoever does drink sure

Of this water here pure

Says Jesus, such shall never thirst

E'en if drought does its worse

 

For such water that He us gives

We drink, and each one lives

It shall be in us a well full

Whose fountains never stall

 

For it shall be well of water

Springing up evermore

Into everlasting life, sent

Eternal refreshment

    Oh my, orchidee, you have captured my heart throughout every word I read. I wish sometimes I could write like you. Although I may never comment much these days that doesn't mean I stop reading yours and others work. This piece is a work of a pure distinction and brilliantly crafted art.

      Thanks Kevin. You mean the words of the clip - where there are people singing sometimes? Or in this case the organist?! heehee.
