Tune: St Michael
('The Lord is risen indeed')
John 4 v.13-15
*******
The water Jesus gives
Whoe'er drinks ever lives
For the water of life it be
Now and eternally
They who of this water
Do drink, shall it is sure
Never thirst, for it a supply
Is that never runs dry
It shall be as a well
Or fountain, we may tell
That springs up from within us to
Everlasting life true
A woman Jesus met
Said, Give me even yet
Of this water, so then I shall
Not thirst from this life-well
May we, Lord, drink of you
As that woman did too
So fed and watered we shall be
Each day perpetually

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 6.6.8.6., if we're in a 'dry patch' spiritually. There is also Jesus the Bread of Life in John Chapter 6.

That water ended up as wine WITHOUT water Orchi.

Heehee thanks Gold. I was at that wedding in Cana of Galilee when Jesus changed the water into wine. Then I came along and turned it back into water. Well, I added water to it, even if I didn't do it miraculously. lol.
Your poem is once again a masterpiece! Great work
