Tune: Sussex
(slower tune to 'Father, hear the prayer we offer')
John 4 v.1-14 parts
********
Jesus journeyed, came to Sychar
A town on his journey far
Sat down by a well, then did meet
A woman and did her greet
He said to her, Who of this well
Drinks, shall thirst again, I tell
But whosoever drink of me
Shall never thirst, true this, see
For who drinks the water I shall
Give, it be a living well
They shall never thirst, but water
Shall give supply ever, sure
For it shall be in them a well
Of water springing up, I tell
In them unto life unto e'erlasting
Quenching of thirst it shall bring

my favourite tipple sparkling water after red wine and single malt and a nice cup of tea ..
Oh, I can't have sparkling - fizzy - water. it plays up my tum tum. It leaves me full of gas - or is it hot air? If so, no change there then! lol.
"And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters above the firmament: and it was so."
Thanks 2.
Always touching my heart dear one!!!
Thanks GS.
I hope that water won't arrive in my whisky Orchi! LOL
Andy
Thanks Gold. lol. Phew, It's 'spiritual' water, not the physical liquid - or else I might add it to tipples!
I wonder if people in those days had a difficult a time understanding analogies as they do on poetry sites? Great write Orchi loved this story
Thanks SB. I read that the reason (or one reason) why Jesus told parables, was that those who were (and are) genuinely seeking him, would think about the parables, analogies, etc more, and so discover the true meanings of them. Those not very interested would just accept the surface meaning and not look further into them.
