Lyrics

Jesus knew the Pharisees had heard that he was baptizing and making

More disciples than John. Though Jesus himself didn't baptize them

His disciples did. So he left Judea and returned to Galilee. He had

To go through Samaria on the way. Eventually he came to the Samaritan

Village of Sychar, near the field that Jacob gave to his son Joseph

Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, tired from the long walk, sat

Wearily beside the well about noontime. Soon a Samaritan woman came

To draw water, and Jesus said to her, "Please give me a drink." He

Was alone at the time because his disciples had gone into the village

To buy some food. The woman was surprised, for Jews refused to have

Anything to do with Samaritans. She said to Jesus, "You are a Jew and

I am a Samaritan woman. Why are you asking me for a drink?" Jesus

Replied, "If you only knew the gift God has for you and who you are

Speaking to, you would ask me and I would give you living water." "

But sir, you don't have a rope or a bucket," she said, "and this well

Is very deep. Where would you get this living water? And besides

Do you think you're greater than our ancestor Jacob, who gave us this

Well? How can you offer better water than he and his sons and his

Animals enjoyed?" Jesus replied, "Anyone who drinks this water will

Soon become thirsty again, but those who drink the water I give will

Never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within

Them, giving them eternal life." "Please, sir," the woman said, "

Give me this water. Then I'll never be thirsty again, and I won'

T have to come here to get water." "Go and get your husband," Jesus

Told her. "I don't have a husband," the woman replied. Jesus said, "

You're right. You don't have a husband, for you have had five husbands

, And you aren't even married to the man you're living with now. You

Certainly spoke the truth!" "Sir," the woman said, "you must be a

Prophet. So tell me, why is it that you Jews insist that Jerusalem is

The only place of worship, while we Samaritans claim it is here in

Mount Gerizim where our ancestors worshiped?" Jesus replied, "Believe

Me, dear woman, the time is coming when it will no longer matter

Whether you worship the Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem. You

Samaritans know very little about the one you worship, while we Jews

Know all about him, for salvation comes through the Jews. But the

Time is coming—indeed, it's here now—when true worshipers will

Worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for

Those who will worship him that way. For God is spirit, so those who

Worship him must worship in spirit and in truth." The woman said, "

I know the Messiah is coming—the one who is called Christ. When he

Comes, he will explain everything to us." And Jesus told her, "

I am the Messiah." Just then the disciples came back. They were

Shocked to find him talking to a woman, but none of them had the

Nerve to ask, "What do you want with her?" or "Why are you talking

To her?" The woman left her water jar beside the well and ran back

To the village, telling everyone, "Come and see a man who told me

Everything I ever did! Could he possibly be the Messiah?" So the

People came streaming from the village to see him. Meanwhile, the

Disciples were urging Jesus, "Rabbi, eat something." But Jesus

Replied, "I have a kind of food you know nothing about." "Did someone

Bring him food while we were gone?" the disciples asked each other

Then Jesus explained, "My nourishment comes from doing the will of

God, who sent me, and from finishing his work. You know the saying

'Four months between planting and harvest.' But I say, wake up and

Look around! The fields are already ripe for harvest. The harvesters

Are paid good wages, and the fruit they harvest is people brought

To eternal life. What joy awaits both the planter and the harvester

Alike! You know the saying, 'One plants and another harvests,' and

It's true. I sent you to harvest where you didn't plant. Others had

Already done the work, and now you will get to gather the harvest."

Many Samaritans from the village believed in Jesus because the

Woman had said, "He told me everything I ever did." When they came

Out to see him, they begged him to stay in their village. So he

Stayed for two days, long enough for many more to hear his message

And believe. Then they said to the woman, "Now we believe, not

Just because of what you told us, but because we have heard him

Ourselves. Now we know that he is indeed the Savior of the world."

At the end of the two days, Jesus went on to Galilee. He himself had

Said that a prophet is not honored in his own hometown. Yet the

Galileans welcomed him, for they had been in Jerusalem at the

Passover celebration and had seen everything he did there. As he

Traveled through Galilee, he came to Cana, where he had turned the

Water into wine. There was a government official in nearby Capernaum

Whose son was very sick. When he heard that Jesus had come from

Judea to Galilee, he went and begged Jesus to come to Capernaum

To heal his son, who was about to die. Jesus asked, "Will you

Never believe in me unless you see miraculous signs and wonders?

" The official pleaded, "Lord, please come now before my little

Boy dies!" Then Jesus told him, "Go back home. Your son will live

" And the man believed what Jesus said and started home. While the

Man was on his way, some of his servants met him with the news that

His son was alive and well. He asked them when the boy had begun

To get better, and they replied, "Yesterday afternoon at one o'

Clock his fever suddenly disappeared." Then the father realized that

That was the very time Jesus had told him, "Your son will live,"

And he and his entire household believed in Jesus. This was the

Second miraculous sign Jesus did in Galilee after coming from Judea
