The Woman of Samaria
Her heart was clearly burdened as she knelt there on her knees
To draw a draught of water that would meet her daily need
This woman of Samaria of Sychar to be clear
Who knew not of the water from the One Who waited near
For as she drew her water all involved in her concern
Beside her sat a Person Who her thoughts He could discern
And knowing of her burdens broke the silence with His voice
To bring to her a blessing as He offered her a choice
For He Whom she knew nothing of by nature was a Jew
With Whom those of her people had so little with to do
And thinking He would not want her to speak with Him that day
She almost drew her water and just turned and walked away
But Jesus knew His Father had another thing in mind
And asked her if she'd share with Him some water to be kind
And she surprised did ask Him why He'd take the time to speak
To one whose own salvation was considered to be weak
And then began a discourse that would turn her life around
As Jesus told her many things that kept her spirit bound
Could be removed by asking Him for water that He had
That living water of the life that soon would make her glad
So glad indeed she'd run off to tell people in her town
The message of the coming Christ that surely she had found
Who told her of the things she'd done and made her whole again
So she could know the love of God and have His heart within
And as the people listened to the message that she shared
They too ran out to meet Him Who revealed a God Who cared
Not for their nationality but for their very soul
To make them as one people by God's Spirit clean and whole
And fit them for His Kingdom that the Jews were meant to share
But out of pride and godlessness revealed they little cared
For that work they'd been trusted with the greatest work of all
The work of helping others in this world to hear God's call
So there two days Christ shared with them the mighty words of Truth
And touched and healed the lives of them to whom He brought new youth
As born again these people did become a Gentile band
The first to have the gospel taught the Way they'd understand
John 4:1-43
