Burlington, Ontario sunrise
"I am thirsty!"
Cried the God of Mercy
--
"Jacob's well was there and Jesus tired from the long walk
sat wearily beside the well about noontime.
Soon a Samaritan woman came to draw water
And Jesus said to her
"Give me something to drink."
"You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman
Why are you asking me for a drink?"
Jesus replied
"If you only knew the gift that God has for you
And who you are speaking to
you would ask me
And I would give you living waters."
(John 4:9.10-NLT)

"Grandma when were you healed?"
"I am so glad you asked," I replied.

HEALING WATERS
In the middle of the blazing sun
Weak and weary when the day was done
He came to me
He saw my thirst
Oh God of Mercy
He sought me first
You spoke to me about the Living Waters
You introduced me to my Heavenly Father
You sat with me
You saw my thirst
Oh God of Mercy
You sought me first
Eternal Life is a bubbling spring
Grace is the healing in Your wings
You came to me
You saw my thirst
Oh God of Mercy
You sought me first
Back and forth in the blazing sun
I draw from your waters when the day is done
You sit with me
You see my thirst
Oh God of Mercy
You sought me first
Your Word is forever fresh and new
Glorious Truth is found in you
You speak to me
You see my thirst
God of Mercy
You sought me first
Step by step in the uphill climb
Living Waters renew my mind
You strengthen me
You see my thirst
Oh God of Mercy
You sought me first
Joy inexpressible and full of glory
This is my life my only story
You came to me
You saw my thirst
In fathomless grace
You sought me first
On the cross you cried
"I thirst!"
Oh God of Mercy
You sought me first

"But sir you don't have a rope or bucket," she said.
"And this well is very deep,"
"Jesus replied
"Anyone who drinks of this water
Will soon become thirsty again
But those who drink the water I give
Will never be thirsty again
It becomes a fresh bubbling spring
Within them
Giving them eternal life."
-John 4: 11,13 -NLT
