Well of Living Water

By Jacobs well he sat; a stranger to me
I came to draw water for I thirsted so
As I turned to go, he gently said, “Come 
drink freely, I have water for which you do not know.
There are many fountains from where water freely flows, 
but there is only one that can satisfy the soul. 
My fountain flows from on high a well of living water
that shall never run dry ”.
Now I am drinking from a fountain where I will ever abide and 
My soul is satisfied.
