('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.
A wonderfully expressed write on the value of the water that is everlasting
- thanks Orchi
Thanks Fay.
