Song Description

A beautiful song I heard performed by Sam Cooke with the Soul Stirrers. A wonderful, inspiring message straight from the Bible.

Lyrics

JESUS GAVE ME WATER

Oh, Jesus gave me water
Jesus gave me water, Jesus gave me water
I want to let his praises swell
Jesus gave me water, Jesus gave me water
Jesus gave me water,
And it was not in the well

Well, there was a woman from Samaria
came to the well to get some water
There she met a stranger, who did her story tell
That a woman dropped her pitcher
she drank and was made richer
From the water he gave her
And it was not in the well

Well on that woman he had pity
she ran back to the city
crying glory, hallelujah, and did his wonders tell
She left my savior singing
And she came back to him bringing
The town to see that water
And it was not in the well

Well, if you find yourself
And you are thirsty,too
Then there's some living water
Right there for you
Now you don't have to go back in time
To find the well that won't run dry
Jesus gave you water
And it was not in the well


Well Lord that woman left there shoutin,
there was no room for doubtin
That she had met a savior who did her wonders tell
Every time she might doubt him,
she stopped to think about him
The man who gave her water,
and he was not in the well
