Have A Drink Of Water
[Verse 1]
In the long, hot, thirsty summer of about 32 AD
Along a dusty highway, there came a man of Galilee
And as he went through Samaria, he stopped at Jacob's well
And there he met a woman whose deep secrets he would tell
"Could I have a drink of water?", soft and quietly asked he
And she said, "Sir, I'm Samaritan, how dare you speak to me"
He said, "If you would ask of me than either son of man
Would give you living water and you'd never thirst again"

[Chorus]
Have a drink of water, everlasting living water
Have a drink of water, everlasting living water
Dip into the endless well
Pour it on the fires of hell
Have a drink and sing and shout
As the flames of hell go out
Have a drink of water, everlasting, endless water

[Verse 2]
Then the woman said, "Sir, you have no way to draw out of this well
Our father Jacob dug it and the stories it could tell
From this well drank his children and his cattle by the score
Where is your well, sir, tell me, that will flow forevermore?"
And he answered and said unto her, "Your water will go dry
And my well is everlasting; if you drink, you'll never die
My father God's a spirit and he sent me unto men
To give you living water so you'll never thirst again"
[Chorus]
Have a drink of water, everlasting living water
Have a drink of water, everlasting living water
Dip into the endless well
Pour it on the fires of hell
Have a drink and sing and shout
As the flames of hell go out
Have a drink of water, everlasting, endless water

[Verse 3]
Well, there now are many thirsting in this modern century
Whose thirst could be quenched quickly by the man from Galilee
For the water flows eternal from the well that never dries
For it flows right out of Heaven where the soul never dies
So if you're hot and tired and thirsting and if you crave a cool, tall drink
He will pour it right out for you a lot quicker than you think
He already knows you're thirsty so just let Him come on in
And He'll give you living water and you'll never thirst again

[Chorus]
Have a drink of water, everlasting living water
Have a drink of water, everlasting living water
Dip into the endless well
Pour it on the fires of hell
Have a drink and sing and shout
As the flames of hell go out
Have a drink of water, everlasting, endless water
[Outro Chorus]
Have a drink of water, everlasting living water
Have a drink of water, ever last-
Clap your hands and sing and shout
