#07 Down by the Waters (at Jacob's Well)

1 There's a small plot of ground near Sychar That Jacob had given his son When tired as you are from the journey A well where the thirsty do come

2 They come to the waters Down by the waters

3 And at times I pass by my neighbor At odds with the strange company I forget I have nothing to draw from To reach the well so deep

4 Down to the waters I come to the waters Where the cares of this world and The dust of the earth wash away

5 So I drink as I try to pretend That I'll never be thirsty again And it's taking its toll This unquenchable hole I can't fill

6 But I know of a gift that came So I offer a cup in His name To the least of these and To those who now long to be filled

7 So come to the waters Down by the waters And drink of the waters Filled by the waters And indeed it becomes like A spring welling up to new life Down by the waters The living waters

8 Where a small plot of ground near Sychar That Jacob had offered his son For rest to find in the journey A well for the thirsty to come
