Fourth Sunday of Lent
The Samaritan Woman
I am the woman Christ met at the well
My life was a mess, it was like living in hell
Until I came across a man like no other
I was a Samaritan and He was a Jew but I felt like his brother
He asked me for a drink from the well so I filled my cup
He spoke of me and my life and I listened up
He knew all about me and my life full of sin
He knew the shambles that my relationships have been
He said “Drink of my living water and you will never thirst”
You can turn your life around even at your worst
My heavenly and living water will set you free
Your bonds will break just believe in Me
He spoke to me with compassion saying “I am the One.
I am the Messiah, Christ, God’s only Son”
His Father is sitting on heaven’s throne above
Looked down on his people and the world with a heart full of love
I immediately left my water pot and went away
Realising how far I have gone astray
I was struggling with sin, unworthy and weak
But His gentleness changed me and now heaven I seek
I journeyed along and rushed into town
To tell the people about my smile and joy that once was a frown
People gathered around, I said, “The Messiah has come!
He came down to earth to save all people, not just some”
I went to the well as reject and as a woman full of sin
I returned with a full cup, and I had Jesus within
I have turned to Christ and His will; He is worthy of all praise
Therefore I will never thirst again for the rest of my days
